There are no winners in a job action
Frankly, I'm speechless. (Or is it wordless on the Internet?)
I got a tip earlier this week that the unions would do their "job action" on Monday. But I didn't post it because I didn't believe it. At least, I didn't WANT to believe it.
I certainly understand the frustration felt by the unions. We feel it too.
"We want to make sure the public is aware of our job action ahead of time. We don't want to hurt the public," said Rick Harris, president of the union local that represents train operators.
OK Rick, we appreciate the notice. But really, do you think this will hurt the state Legislature? Force them to come up with a transit funding solution a week before Christmas?
I don't think so. All this job action will do is piss off riders and cause businesses to lose lots of money.
Nothing good can come out of either outcome.
