The liberals chickens coming home to roost........again. 80 grand just aint enough. Pay up liberals.

OAKLAND, Calif. — Two San Francisco Bay Area transit unions are set to go on strike and shut down one of the region’s major train systems if they don’t reach agreement on a new contract.
Bay Area Rapid Transit’s two largest unions issued a 72-hour strike notice Thursday evening. That means train service that serves more than 400,000 commuters each weekday could be shut down during the Monday morning commute if a deal isn’t reached over the weekend.

It will be when it's sitting in traffic on Monday. Thankfully I have Monday and Tuesday off of work, but if the strike goes longer than that I will be SOL on Wednesday.

Look for the union label.....whenever corruption, rampant waste, greed and ridiculous contract demands are present.

Sounds like you easily soak in and believe every word of anti-union propaganda.

Sounds like you don't like a factual assessment of unions.

Look at their history is all it takes. Even JFK knew crooks when he saw them.

No wonder liberals are screaming for mass transit everywhere. They want to bleed the tax payer and think that tax payer should handover their freedom of movement so union transportation extortionists can force them to stay home at their whim
