Parked trains are seen in the Bronx, New York on December 20, 2005. New York transit workers walked off the job for the first time in 25 years on Tuesday, stranding millions of people who rely on the largest U.S. Bus and subway system each day. Last-ditch talks between the Transport Workers Union and the state-run Metropolitan Transportation Authority collapsed shortly before a 12:01 a.m. (0501 GMT) strike deadline when the union rejected the MTA's offer and left the bargaining table. Around three hours later, the union called the strike, shutting down the entire subway and bus system, which carries 7 million daily passengers. The last such strike in 1980 lasted 11 days and this one too could drag on for some time. REUTERS/ Teddy Blackburn

I hope they reach a deal soon. Brrrr.

Here's to fair and decent wages for the workers!

:toast:

I loved it! Now I work in Queens, unfortunately.

:toast:

Where did you work then?

I walked from 98th and Riverside.

So people are biking and skateboarding and roller blading to work.

I might have to use them if this continues.

I live at 85th and Columbus and work at 40th and Park.

the city had to carry at least 4 people or it wouldn't be allowed in. So, anyone crossing the bridges into Manhattan better have a car pool or some blow up dolls in the back seat.

Taxis are operating like buses, and everyone's sharing them.

Now it's time for us to walk with them.

That deserves it's own thread - I love that picture!

If they saw that picture. Those that are opposed to the TWU demands that is.

I took it myself.
