Did you know it is a strategy of cities to not negotiate with their unions during times of high fuel prices; same with School Districts and their bus drivers? But do you know why Transit Strikes Inevitable During Times of High Fuel Prices? It is because those agencies save a boatload of money, if the drivers go on strike for a month. This means no fuel costs for a month? The Unions know this too and they know that the money that is saved they can get back in pay to them. Sounds like a good deal all the way around right? Not so, what about the people who pay for garbage service, ride the bus to work or need their streets swept and all the drivers are enjoying a free vacation, knowing they will negotiate for higher pay to make up for it. Meanwhile we are all stuck with no services. To me this is total BS, but typical as no one seems to care what is right for the people that these folks are suppose to be serving, yes you and I. If a businessman cannot get his labor to work, as the buses stop and then he will not make a profit. If people cannot take the bus then they end up driving and clogging the streets with more cars and you cannot find parking and we get more rush hour gridlock? Why, because it is a conspiracy, these people do not give a damn about their jobs or their duties it is hypocrisy at best and it is complete and utter BS. Think on it. |
