Isn't a walkout illegal?

Wonder if Bloomberg will pull a Reagan by firing all the employees who walk (ala Air Traffic Controllers back in '81) ?

That wouldn't surprise me, considering Bloomberg is no longer up for re-election and can't run for a third term. Also, isn't that Pataki's job, since isn't the MTA is a state agency?
...Anyway, I think that both sides are making unreasonable demands, and I really hope that they do not strike. A city of 8 million people will NOT do well if this occurs at the end of the week.
