Quill's (right) message to a judge in 1966 applies to Bloomberg (left) today: "Drop Dead!"

December 27, 2005 -- New York's GOP mayor Michael Bloomberg, a darling of so-called "progressive Democrats" who think of him as some sort of "Republican in name only" (RINO), called striking Transport Worker's Union (TWU) leaders and members "thugs" after they walked off their jobs to protest reduction of pension and medical benefits. The late TWU President Michael J. Quill, after being ordered by a judge in 1966 to send his striking New York transit workers back to work after imposing an injunction, told the judge to "drop dead" and was declared in contempt of court and jailed. Quill's quote: "Just as we promised you, the judge can drop dead in his black robes. We will not call off the strike." Ironically, Quill died in prison just shy of age 60.

Quill's reply to the judge some 40 years ago applies today to the anti-labor Bloomberg: "Drop dead!" And to those "progressive Democrats" who support Bloomberg: "You can drop dead too!"
