MAYOR MICHAEL R. BLOOMBERG’S STATEMENT REGARDING
DISMISSAL OF TWU LAWSUIT BY FEDERAL COURT
"We have won the first round in our effort to prevent a transit strike. We have established, and will exercise, the right to do everything the law allows to prevent an illegal strike by the TWU. No one has the right to bring New York to its knees and put our lives and our livelihood in danger. We will do everything in our power to prevent an illegal strike by the TWU and, if they insist on carrying out their threats to break the law, we will hold the union and its members accountable to the full extent of the law. We will take advantage of every legal remedy available."
