"Brown says he hopes the series would not be affected by a walkout on buses, trolleys and the subway, which runs from central Philadelphia to the stadium. But he says workers have been without a contract since March and says this will be the "last week" they'll work without one."

Without a contract since March. I'd be striking too.

This is a prime example of big guys shitting on the little guys. They won't give them a new contract but expect them to just be obedient workers and be lucky they have what they have. When they strike and the public is outraged, the streets are slammed with traffic, businesses suffer because people aren't coming into the city etc, then they will negotiate something just to end the chaos. Unions en mass have a very loud voice and why should they lay down for these assholes. If you let them take you're pay down, next they'll go after you're benefits, then you're retirement, then you're job.

if they are demanding extra money cause transit is going to be busy as fuck, tell that to your local minimum wage workers who get payed the same amount per hour even though the store is as busy as fuck

Two of my main website clients are unions. To see the kind of crap that the employees these unions represent get from their employers and the devious tactics the employers use to coherse, intimidate and rip off their employees, is a disgrace. If it were not for these unions, these employees would never receive a pay increase, would be working in unsafe and abhorant conditions.

Unfortunately our world appears to be going backwards to a two class system - the upper end of town versus the drones who work their entire lives to support them. These fat cats have forgotten we live in a society - not just an economy. I freely admit some unions appear to go too far - but not all and at the end of the day, begrudging somoene on a minimal wage a little bit more, while excusing those who are earning millions a year for the corporate behaviour is what they want us to do. Divide and conqure at its basic level.

To those slamming the union, I hope the next time your employer wants a new jet or boat or botox for his girlfirend it is not your wages and conditions he sees fit to sacrafice.

Corruption of all forms - government, union, organisational needs to be rooted out and consigned to the scrap heap. This corruption harms us all. I in no way condone such a abomination of what the true spirit of unionism stands for.

I believe in unionism along the lines of solidatiy in Poland where workers stand up for their rights and a better and brighter future for workers everywhere. I do not support thuggery and standover tactics employed by organised crime through unions. I hope this clears things up.

The true spirit if unionism??

I just described it to you...

What did I see the union do??

It protects the lazy worker who shows up to work 3-4 days a week...
It protects the worker who does a half assed job....

I cant tell you how many times i have heard a union worker say things as...

"Im in the union, I dont have to do shit at work"
"I dont do shit, and get paid as much as everyone else"

I have NEVER heard a union worker tell me how hard they work. Its always the story of how they show up at work an hour late, take a 2 hour lunch, leave early, and get paid for 8 hours.

The average bus driver in Philly makes $58,000???

Is this true???

I just read this...And I dont believe it....

Somebody try to find out what a bus driver in Philly gets paid....

$58,000??? no way...

NO, that's not unionism, thats corruption and criminal behaviour. I'm talking a fair day's work for a fair day's pay. WOrkers who stick together to achieve better/fair conditions. I have no sypmathy for the behaviour you mention.

I have seen way too many lazy, rude, and unproductive people working for Septa, Metro, and Amtrak. They deserve nothing; morons with a tenth grade education acting like entitled assholes.
