Actually, at the time of the strike, there was another law in place that forbade strikes by public employees, the Condon-Wadlin Act. The penalties in that statute, however were highly discretionary and in many cases optional and the TWU made it clear that if the city attempted to enforce any penalties, the cure would be worse that the disease. As a result, the union wasn't penalized for that strike. The subsequent statute, the Taylor Law filled in many of the loopholes of the old law by making the penalties mandatory thus removing any discretion on the part of any politicians who wished to soft pedal the penalties. |
