Unions deliberately slow NY snow removal
Selfish Sanitation Department bosses from the snow-slammed outer boroughs ordered their drivers to snarl the blizzard cleanup to protest budget cuts. – New York Post
We’ve warned about the coming chaos as local, state and federal budgets are forced to tighten. Social unrest will become visible in America in 2011. This type of union protest is only the beginning. Sen. Tom Coburn said ‘We must live within our means’ or face ‘apocalyptic pain’. The pain is coming because our leaders will not face the reality of the drastic cuts needed.

New York state has a $286 BILLION unfunded pension liability. ~ Editor

EXCERPTS:
Miles of roads stretching from as north as Whitestone, Queens, to the south shore of Staten Island still remained treacherously unplowed last night because of the shameless job action, several sources and a city lawmaker said, which was over a raft of demotions, attrition and budget cuts.

They were told to make the mayor pay for the layoffs, the reductions in rank for the supervisors, shrinking the rolls of the rank-and-file.”
New York’s Strongest used a variety of tactics to drag out the plowing process — and pad overtime checks — which included keeping plows slightly higher than the roadways and skipping over streets along their routes, the sources said.
