How would you or I know whether NYT earns 1MM a year from a striking worker or 100k?

You're just assuming that the labor's value is above the pay. Have you ever met a strike or labor action that you did not like?

I think NYPD labor actions is something I feel strongly against.

- underpaid

- they fight tooth and nail for lack of accountability

- they get lots of fun benefits for overtime, so they make sure to arrest people so they can get overtime

I can't say one positive thing about the NYPD union, it is the "anti-accountability" union.

OK fair enough.
