I don’t know if I’m gonna make much sense in this post, cuz I’m not a happy person right now. I’m so annoyed that the strike actually happened. I’m tired of this, every few years the Transit Workers Union threaten to strike because they’re unhappy with their contracts. I’m all for the working man and everyone getting their fair share of salary and benefits, but this is a little ridiculous. Maybe I don’t know all the facts and I realize the TWU is trying to make a statement, but I think it’s unfair to punish the entire city for it, not to mention breaking the law on top of that. They’re asking the people of the city to be on their side and to understand...but I have mixed feelings about all this. Part of me is trying to sympathize with them but the other part is angry. In a city with the largest mass transit system in the world, where 8 million people depend on it to get around, how can it get to this point? I’m lucky I was given the option to work from home today but there are so many other people who don’t have that option, people who might not get paid if they can’t get to their jobs. Not everybody has cars and not everyone has enough money to pay for a cab. And not everyone is in good physical condition to walk across the bridge or walk 40 city blocks, especially in the dead of winter. And even if you are able to get a ride in, is it even worth it? I’m seeing reports of crazy traffic and gridlock. This can’t be good, especially if some big emergency happened. And now, I’m angry at the city lawmakers. What are they gonna do about this? Can’t they step in for the good and safety of the city??
