NEW YORK TRANSIT WORKERS ARE ABOUT TO STRIKE

Metro likes to brag that it is the best transit agency of its size, and that it is just doing "what all the other agencies are doing."

Long Island Rail transit workers are set to strike.  Like Metro, their agency has refused to negotiate a new contract (but for only four years, instead of six years), and eroding pensions and benefits.

(Also Philly and San Francisco:

Public transit needs to change nationwide.  And it's not going to be the people in charge that change it, it is going to have to be those of us that actually rely on transit-- both riders and workers.

TIME FOR CHANGE!
