$26/hour + benefits + pension to drive a bus. And the Man told me to stay in school so I could get an education in order that I could earn a good paying job. My parents & teachers were full of crap. They should’ve just told me to be a drone & get a union gig and I’d be set for life.

PS. Why do all union presidents dress like Paulie Walnuts?

@Chris Taylor: Excellent point, Chris. This should give people time to make arrangements, whether it be working from home or finding some alternate transport.

Maybe I should work on a “Transit Strike Tips” article…

We might not be on their side, but it’s a lot nicer to know about the strike a few days in advance. Much, much better than the wildcat crap the last time around. So I give them props for that. It gives me time to get things squared away at the office since I likely won’t see it for the duration.

So I’m not exactly rooting for them, but there’s not much of a downside if you can telecommute. For those that can’t, the next week is going to be a whole pile of fun.
