I wonder if these guys know that this is not going to turn out well for them.
From FOX News: NYC Subway, Bus Operators Strike
More than 7 million people in and around New York City were forced to walk, find a cab, drive into work or just work from home Tuesday after more than 30,000 Transport Workers Union members walked off the job.
Following days of acrimonious labor talks and one strike deadline extension, subways and buses ground to a halt shortly after 3 a.m. Tuesday. Authorities began locking turnstiles and shuttering subway entrances shortly after the ordered the illegal strike. The city braced for a rush hour filled with disorder by placing police officers en masse around the city, among other preparations.
At one subway booth, a handwritten sign read, “Strike in Effect. Station Closed. Happy Holidays!!!!”
They now have about 7 million people who are going to have a hard time getting to work and getting around, at this time of year. How exactly did the unions think this was a good idea?
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all those living and working in the Big City. I will have a very nice drive into work today. I hope you are at least able to find an alternative and hope this gets settled real soon.
