Also if you don't like that it's illegal, advocate for making it legal by repealing the Taylor Law

Yes, slavery was and is immoral. You said illegal though, not immoral. Folks are of course free to quit their jobs, they don't have to keep working for the government. A strike is a little more specific than that.

Are you familiar with the Taylor Law
Setting aside what's "right", public-sector strikes are illegal in New York. The flipside is union contracts continue in perpetuity when a new one isn't negotiated (the "Triborough Amendment"), unlike in the private sector. It creates a strong status quo bias.

It's not really discretion when it's 100% of the time. Traffic agents report to the police, and don't have discretion to enforce outside what the NYPD let's them.

They're only legit in very specific areas. They don't permit parking on sidewalks, no standing zones, fire hydrants, bike lanes, crosswalks, etc... It's really just for meters and authorized vehicle only areas

In New York, apparently not. I support repealing the Taylor Law, sounds like you do too?
