When the LIRR (railroad) was threatening a strike, people said the same thing about the public no longer supporting them against the evil big money honchos, but guess what? In the end they got their money and the public went back to business as usual and nobody cares the union was being greedy. Not until the next contract squabble. The public just lives in the now. The police union are not going to be any worse off for taking this stand. Too bad.
Really different animals. The police are the most visible arm of the government have have far more contact on a daily basis with the public than MTA employes.
