Talkin' MTA Strike Blues
From ABC News:
"Subway and bus workers voted over the weekend to give the union's board the power to call a strike at 12:01 a.m. Friday when the current contract runs out. City officials filed court papers Wednesday in a lawsuit seeking... lost revenues and overtime and fines of $25,000 that would double each day for those who walk out on the job."
So the workers are prepared to face fines and walk out at 12:01am tomorrow night. I'm prepared to organize a party to get on a bus at 11:52, and then when the driver takes off 9 minutes later have a Prankster-esque night of debauchery. An MTA bus all to ourselves. Who's coming with me? Where are we going? And what are we writing on the bus' LED?
