Public Employee Strikes Spark City Club Report on Should They Be Barred
The City Club of New York examines public employee strikes in a report noting five and a half hour and hospital worker walkouts crippled hospitals and nursing homes in the metropolitan area despite steep daily fines. It favors banning strikes by police fire hospital sanitation and other essential workers while allowing some that are merely inconvenient. The report argues striking may push government to adopt alternative delivery systems, potentially cheaper and more effective, yet transit sanitation bridge and hospital strikes remain forbidden. It underscores the public duty over labor privilege and calls for better long term solutions.
