Does He Know Something The Rest Of Us Don’t?

Some seem skeptical that there will not be another transit strike:

In scolding language, a state judge refused yesterday to allow the Transport Workers Union to begin automatically collecting dues again from its members, saying he did not find believable the union leaders’ assertions that it would not strike again.

The ruling by Justice Bruce M. Balter of State Supreme Court in Brooklyn was a blow to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which had urged that the ban on automatic dues collection — imposed after a 2005 strike — be lifted for the sake of labor harmony.
