Roger’s in Jail

Does anybody feel sorry for union leader Roger Touissant for being in jail? I mean I understand that he caused the Transit strike and left millions without transportation. I disliked him immensely for that. But in the end, the man stood up for something he believed in and supposedly was trying to help his fellow workers. I do not know the politics of Roger Touissant, but after all is said and done, I think he should not have had to do jail time for his protest. I mean isn’t fining them $2.5 million enough? And on top of all that, the city is now trying to renegotiate the contract they agreed upon which ended the strike.
And the funny part is most people will always side with the government and not the workers when the matter is regarding unions. M’eh poor bastard, at least he has some friends [1].
