In just three days on strike, transit workers paralyzed New York City and electrified the labor movement. With the MTA, city officials, the courts and the media lined up against them, TWU members took a courageous stand against devastating concessions.

What lessons can other unions take from this struggle?
Where is NYC labor headed from here?
Come to a discussion about the future of our movement.
