This is what happens when you have a Republican governor. The Philly transit workers had barely declared their strike when they were ordered back to work via declaration of a "Presidential Emergency".
The real emergency is the appalling lack of worker's right in the world's richest nation. The real emergency is the collapse of unions and the rise of "Right To Work" legislation.
The transit agency should have been forced to mediate to stop the strike- not the other way around!
I hope the Philly transit workers won't back down. They deserve better!
We all do!
