I was walking my ass all over the city yesterday because of this thing... It certainly is annoying, but sometimes people need to stand up and fight for what they believe in. On teh other hand, I'm pretty sure that this strike is illegal and I don't know how much its going to really help the transit workers' union.

the worst part about this is, in my opinion, the effect it will have on low-income and day-to-day workers. I know the guy who usually sells the paper outside of City Hall subway stop commutes from the Bronx. Hell, homeless people count on teh subways for charity (especially at this time of year!) and shelter. Lots of poorer people are going to struggle getting to the jobs they desperatley need, because they really can't afford expensive cabs and usually don't have a car of their own or know anyone that does. Those people are being hurt the most by this.
