i clipped these numbers from the article in CNN directly so im not making up the numbers myself, and as i compare the numbers from CNN to your presentation if it costs 60mil in 2 weeks to train and 6.6 after 33K get work in comparison to $400MILLION per day!!!!!
its worth the headache!!!!
Fire them to make an example!here is the numbers-
Economic losses will add to the inconveniences and frustrations, Bloomberg said.
"Our economy would lose about $400 million per day and would particularly hurt the working families who can least afford it, including thousands who work in the tourism and hospitality industries," Bloomberg said. The city government would lose $22 million a day in tax revenue and overtime police expenditures.
In court papers filed Monday it was estimated that a transit strike would have a devastating effect on the city, costing $440 million to $600 million a day in lost business activity.
Overtime for police officers called in during a strike would add another $10 million a day, the court motion said.
