MTA Transit Strike SUCKS

[vice86]

This fucking MTA strike sucks...Port Auth. is a little over 3 miiles from my work and since my foot is killing me...I ain't waking it..so I end up paying 10.00 each way plus picking up other people to share the ride...cabbies making a nice wad charging each person 10.00 individually...sucks for the people that don't know that or about the flat rates and then get surprised when the cabbie said "10.00....EACH"...lol.

The flat rate is actually a cheaper ride for me then a metered ride...10.00 vs. 12-13.00 in the morning and 13-16.00 at night during heavy traffic.

It's utter bullshit. I can see why they (the TWU) are striking, and I sorta feel for them -- but Toussaint is making ridiculous demands. A 10.5% raise isn't enough?!

its bullshit the twu wasnts to decrease their retirement age to 50 from 55 (which is a crock of shit) they want to not pay 10 bucks for health coeverage. these fuckers are greedy fucks. this strike although i am indirectly affected (and my wife was affected ) really pisses me off big time. I absolutly hate pay raises across the board. Its bullshit raises should be becasue of merit.

I mean...i know the MTA has some valid arguments...but they're not even allowed to strike and that homo jamaican dude went over someone's head and called a strike..he wasn't even allowed to.

They get raises they can't even live off of
