Stu Its true, in the bronx they have been hiring ever since we were on strike which also includes queens. Even the scabs that were working while we were on strike are working along side us and have joined the union. A lot of people got disgusted and retired and took the measly buy out. There was plenty of spaces to fill so they did it with the cheapies. Dont know that there is any law against it but the union did nothing about it.
