On "Bargaining in Good Faith"

Apparently it no longer exists among labor unions:
Perhaps it was the anger of the moment, but when [transit worker union president Roger] Toussaint spoke to thousands of workers at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center on Saturday night after they authorized a strike, there was an unusual twist. Holding a megaphone, he began a well-known labor chant by yelling, "What do we want?"

But many of the workers responded not with the word he expected, "Contract," but rather with the defiant word "Strike."
That would be despicable under any circumstances, but when it's also illegal, it becomes especially repugnant. Shame on them.

I guess the moral high ground means nothing to the unionized workers below ground.
