New York City Transit Workers Strike

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,179241,00.html

"Meanwhile, transit workers took to the picket lines with signs that read "We Move NY. Respect Us!"

You want respect? Then either do your job, or quit and find a new job if you think you aren't paid enough.

What a bunch of fucking prima donnas.

Why is it that everyone thinks they are 'owed' respect? Respect speaks for itself. If you don't have it, you probably don't deserve it.

I can't even phathom the audacity to say to someone "Respect Me". You're pathetic just for saying it. One of the reasons people will respect you is if you respect yourself. And standing on a street corner with a sign saying "Respect Us" shows how pathetic you are. If you are willing to dishonor yourself by standing on a corner with a sign saying "respect us" you deserve none.

You want my respect? Do the job you are paid to do. If you don't like your pay, find a better job and resign your current. If you can't find a better job. NEWSFLASH: "YOU ARE BEING PROPERLY COMPENSATED"

I'll respect you if you quit your job because you marketed yourself and you found yourself a better job. I won't respect you if you walk off your job with all your lazy-ass union buddies and grind the city to a halt so that all the people who actually DO want to do their job today... Who DON'T have the luxury of a union contract... Who actually earn a salary on the open market without strong-arm tactics like unions use can't get to work.

If I was the Director of Operations for the NYC Transit authority I'd fire EVERY one of them and immediately for failure to report to work and start accepting applications. I'll bet there's MANY MANY MANY people who'd love a 55K salary to drive a bus and a fully funded pension at 62 to go along with it.

"Respect Us"?????????????????

Please...
