Default SEPTA Strike

With Regional Rail Strike On Hold, Talks With SEPTA City Division Unions Barely Moving « CBS Philly

Obama, calls the union workers back. I thought the R.L.A, prevented things like this. How is it, we at the airlines can't even get this far? My first thought was SEPTA isn't interstate. However, they serve New Jersey and Delaware.

I'm pro-union like almost all of us are but there is nothing that grinds my gears like a government union. They have no competition and therefore have no checks and balances for their compensation like the private sector has.

Soooo the president and his yes men push through legislation that increases healthcare cost for EVERYONE, your company passes that on to you, you strike over it, and then the president orders you not to strike. Seems like he told you to eat a poop sandwich twice now.

Unfortunately the victim is the taxpayer. Have you ever even ridden on a SEPTA vehicle?
