Forbes on Fox is discussing this issue right now on FoxNews.

Nice to know the union has a defender in this. :sarcasm:

You travel the world and NYNY is always called the small government city.

There are no small governments, only small bureaucrats who run them!   :rotf:

But seriously, even if you give Sleeping Beauty the benefit of the doubt and claim the guy was catching some zzz's between plowing; that picture attached to the headline of a dead baby and it's a public relations mess.

From what I was hearing....it didn't sound like anyone on the panel was defending them.

There was one that talked about how bad the storm was and that was the main contributor.  I don't buy that when so many of the workers called in sick that day.

He was pretty much shot down on that theory though wasn't he, or was that the show on just before. I was on here and not as focused on the tv.

Speaking of princely union salaries:

They are paid a lot for stage handing. That's even more than some doctors. No wonder why New York is so expensive to live in.

It's similar to military areas. The military gets a pay raise and the rents ALWAYS go up.

They should lose their jobs and their pensions, be arrested and go to trial.

I agree with that. Seriously, they neglected their duty to clear the streets of snow. It is dereliction of duty.
