I took the 7:13pm train from Ronkonkoma tonight, and it was packed. We left Ronkonkoma with the 2 head cars closed, and the train was standing room only by...
If, for example only, Congress passed a law saying thet the LIRR was not covered by the RLA, it would not, as you assert, "take away" your retirement benfits -...
... Sorry, but I feel that the Taylor laws themselves should be illegal, and strikes should NEVER be illegal. There is NO penalty for a company, like the LIRR,...
I forwarded the video to channel 7 news, lets see if they do anything. From: LIRRCommuters@yahoogroups.com [mailto:LIRRCommuters@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of...
Oh...I get it now. Perpetuating a fraud is a retirement benefit that was bargained for during collective bargaining. It all makes sense to me now! ... try to...
As we know the LIRR is not a "normal" company, they cannot go out of business. If employees strike in a private company and it goes on long enough it can hurt...

In spite of what the union posters here think of some of the non- union posters here, some of us, me for one, are really really trying to understand and...
...right, because, everyone should get full pay when they do not show up for work and stage a job action, tying up an entire region and preventing thousands of...
The only way I can try to compare this to the "outside", non-union world, would be to compare the Taylor laws on the books to your boss/company having a law...
During the strike, management still collects their pay, so why would they care if the workers are out on strike and not getting paid, it just becomes a waiting...
It defacto does stop people from going to work. No there are no guards standing in Nassau County saying "YOU CAN'T GO TO WORK!!!", but the fact of the matter...
I agree that, if the LIRR was covered by the Taylor laws, management should also be affected by the strike. They should forfeit pay just like the workers....
On properties covered by Taylor laws, management has to go to work. Top management orders that one. Also, if you want management to strike or forfeit pay, then...
I honestly do not know enough to comment as to whether you have over- simplified justification for a abolishment of the Taylor Law or not. But it seems your...
Your points below are valid points. While management may not call for a strike their actions can influence the situation and make a strike more likely (or...
I'm sure that's illegal unless you make all management part of a union. If you can't vote on it, and have no input on if it happens or not, why should it...
Like moving the LIRR out of the RLA congress could pass a law making the LIRR a special case, in which case it would not be illegal. I think the disability...
Many of the old timer railroaders here will remember back in 1983, virtually all of the LIRR management signed cards to join unions. Several years had gone by...
When someone has a "management" job and a union card it can create problems and conflicts. They can develop an slack attitude because if they get "fired" from...

The threats do not have to be rational. In some eyes the video "hurt" the LIRR, therefore they "protect" their company. The threat-makers do not see that the...
