Quotes by Nicole Gelinas

“Thats outrageous. Thats like getting a $10,000 to $14,000 reward for illegally going on strike. You can call it a post-strike bonus. The union has gotten a good deal. And it has shown it can defy state law and the governor and the mayor and benefit financially.”

“The one saving grace would be if it ushers in a new era of reform. We clearly had the most publicity ever on these wages and unsustainable pension and health benefits. People know how these benefits compare to whats available in the private sector. Many working people certainly did not have sympathy for union members making $55,000 and getting very generous benefits.”

“The TWU is the clear winner here. There really is no other way to spin it.”
