So the strike ended on the 3rd day. There was no new contract, so what's with the strike? Gaining respect? It was bad a strike for TWU, a bad strike for New Yorkers. Essentially nobody wins. The strike was good for nothing. It was sheer stupidity.I guess there is no need for more transit tips except when TWU decides they will have another strike if like they don't get 1 month paid vacation for new hires.
Last night I tried to get on those bus I took to work, no luck. Pretty long line, nasty traffic. I ended up taking the LIRR, which was like hell on earth on the first day of strike. Anyway, I went to the ticket buying booth, zoomed through the crowd, and went straight to track 17, the train was there, letting people off and letting people in. I was able to get in, a happy LIRR commuter. It was crowded but considering...I even managed to find a seat.
