According to the contract, the strike would be illegal and would cost striking workers money in terms of fines for illegally striking. A long term strike would be economically disastrous during the holiday season and making shopping a nightmare since so many people ride the subways w/ all their shopping bags, including me. If anything, the TWU won't strike or will call a short wildcat strike for a few hours as a sign of solidarity or whatever.

If the MTA does strike, I'll rollerblade to work instead of bike in order to share in the misery w/ my fellow commuters.
