NYC Transit Strike: TWU declares series of strikes
 

The Transit Workers Union has rejected the MTA's final offer and declared a series of strikes.

Effective today, about 3,000 employees of private express bus lines controlled by the MTA will strike.

The TWU is giving the MTA until Tuesday 12:01am to renegotiate. If no conract is reached by then, they will expand the stike to 30,000 subway and bus employees.

Pretty pathetic showing by the union. If you say you're going to strike, fuckign strike! Who takes private busses anyway? This is like asbestos installers striking.

Im sure the shutdown of buses in Jamaica will inspire the MTA to give in to all demands, what a joke.

Also, shut up and go to work. Count your blessings that you have a stable income and exceptionally generous benefits/pension for jobs that require little skill or training.

Weaksauce. [censored] or get off the pot.

Yeah, of course I am happy that they did not strike today (since that would've seriously f-ed up my commute), but they botched this up bigtime. They should definitely walk out before Monday's morning rush if they want to get taken seriously.

Private Bus is one the only ways in from some the outer boro's

Usually LIRR or Metro North runs where they are

Dude, the point isn't going on strike. It's being willing to go on strike in order to get the concessions you want. You should know that.
