anyways on to the discussion, personly i agree with the strike. the MTA are just being unreasonable, now I understand that its going to be very irritating to a lot of people and its going to cost the city a lot of money but personly i think its something that needs to be done with other attemps failing.

Bloomberg has said the walkout could cost the city as much as $400 million a day, and would be particularly harsh at the height of the holiday season. He said a strike would freeze traffic into "gridlock that will tie the record for all gridlocks."
wouldn't of guessed it'd be that much, though i dont know much about economy [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

Pension issues have been a major sticking point in the talks. The MTA wants to raise the age at which new employees become eligible for full pension from 55 to 62, which the union says is unfair.
ok personly 57-58 would be a good age, but 62 is getting to high imo -.-".
Jose Padilla, 34, said he and fellow Coca-Cola employees are meeting at 4 a.m. to come up with a plan to put more workers in trucks to ensure their product gets delivered in the case of a strike.
