New York City on Lock Down

I for one always want the underdog to win, come out on top, beat down the bad guys. In this case it was big business management against the transit workers of New York City. The standoff came, the workers had to make a point and as a result they have shut the City down. No buses, no trains.

In some cities this may not be a big issue, but in a City the size of New York with more than 8 million residents it is a monumental pain in the ass.

Coming at a time where there should be good will toward wo/man, this situation leaves a lot to be desired. People have to walk for miles, hitch rides, and become very creative in trying to get around the city. It is estimated that businesses in the City will lose 400 million dollars in the first day. Not to mention the loss of pay to many who are totally unable to get to their jobs.

I do hope it is worth it. That the demands made by the transit workers union will somehow justify what has been done to the people of the city of New York. Perhaps there is some lesson in this for big business... that they have to take the demands of unions seriously.

We shall see.

I don't know the specifics. All I do know is there are a lot of cold and tired people in New York. Not only that, but it's Christmas, for goodness sakes. I hope the strike ends soon.
