"About 100 NYPD officers were gathered at the picket line as of noon Thursday"

I see the cops are getting back to their union busting roots. Bunch of fuckwads

Union for me, not for thee!

What do you mean they don’t have a union they have a Police Benevolent Association lol

They are saying that the cops are saying cops can have a union but no one else

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

lol I know I was being sarcastic because the police union’s name is incredibly dumb considering it’s corrupt. It’s like bills that say “American health freedom act” that removes regulations on insurance companies so they can further restrict which providers they feel like covering. Does the opposite of what it says on the tin

Note: Strikes are supposed to be disruptive

To everyone not just management. And that's okay.

Well, I was hoping something I ordered would arrive by tomorrow, but I won't get mad if it doesn't now. Good for them.

Teamsters are the good guys.

The only two photos I’ve seen today of the NYPD are them arresting a teamster and them escorting Luigi like he’s Hannibal lector. The capital isn’t gonna protect itself
