workers destroy a Ford Explorer

I don't see anything in the reports saying that was a snow route. I do see a lot of comments saying that their streets still haven't been touched.

 

After watching that video that may not be a bad thing

 

On CNN it was noted that the owner of the SUV worked for the road crew, and the state has made the statement to the effect that they will accomodate all repairs.

 

And then it all became clear.

10% unemployment? Time for a LOCKOUT!

 

If it were my car there would be 2 dead sanitation workers, and I of course would be in NYC jail.

 

It appeared that loader had power, bucket, and articulation ... anyone who's ever operated one of those should have known how to get that unit unstuck W/O a tow truck anyway.

Plenty of room forward to walk it forward with the bucket.

Been stuck in 4ft deep mud and still got it out ... just an observation.

 

Common sense is not so common

 

Yep, you can pick yourself up, slide over and push yourself out. The way he handled it in the video I first thought inexperience. Now I think it was deliberate. Who would leave their bucket down in a tight spot?

If I was the mayor, I'd start firing some of them. They might have a change of heart then. Cut backs and layoffs are happening everywhere. What makes them think they are special?
