You mean all this is over pensions for future employees?

I’m giving the slap up to the M T A’s workers for their strike. You are about to eff up Christmas and Chanukah for 7 million+ — and jack up my holiday travel plans — because of a dispute over pension benefits for future employees?

The authority dropped its demand to raise the retirement age for a full pension to 62 for new employees, up from 55 for current employees. But the authority proposed that all future transit workers pay 6 percent of their wages toward their pensions for their first 10 years of employment, up from the 2 percent that current workers pay.

I have nothing to say on this one. I’m stunned.
