NYP: Sanitation Workers Sabotaged Timely Plowing

If this is true, it's a pretty outrageous "job action" to protestbudget issues in NYC. The Post alleges Sanitation Department workers slow walked snow removal in the outer boroughs, leaving residential streets clogged after last weekend's blizzard.
Roads are plowed now and higher temperatures should alleviate the situation. With such a large storm in a large city, I had defended the difficulties in getting streets cleared. I am sure many people did work hard to clear the snow, but if this report is true, it's a shameful black eye on organized labor in the public sector.
It's doubtful any of this could be proven, but now hearings will be held.
