AP Photo/ Shahrzad Elghanayan Transit workers scramble this evening to re-apply the scent of urine to all 468 subway stations after the three day strike ended today around 3:00.
They are also inspecting the 660 miles of track to make sure all the service disruptions, garbage fires, and rats will be restored by tomorrow's rush hour.
Word is that Roger Toussaint is now planning for his career change from head of the TWU to his new position as president of the "Master Evader-of Jail" club, when he so graciously caved in after the Transit Union's executive board voted overwhelmingly to end the strike, just minutes before he was due in Brooklyn Supreme Court to face Judge Theodore Jones, along with Local 100's recording secretary Darlyne Lawson and secretary treasurer Ed Watt, on charges of contempt of court.
Declaring victory, (and by victory of course I mean complete failure) - Toussaint proudly and defiantly announced his answer to growing pressure that he order his workers back on the job immediately - WITHOUT a contract:

"They'll go back right away," he

Ah yes, the future of labor unions and general worker's protection in this glorious country certainly looks bright, doesn't it?
Merry Christmas fuckheads.
