That's delusional. What ended the strike:

1. Double time for working Christmas Day
2. The union has $3.5 million (so they say) and thus has no more money to pay for a 4+ day illegal strike.
3. Toussaint doesn't want to be in prison on Christmas.

I have to say, I was thrilled to see my E train pull into the station this morning.
