Unions versus Workers

Commuters face chaos during Calif. train strike

OAKLAND, Calif. — Commuters in the San Francisco Bay Area got up before dawn Friday and endured heavy traffic on roadways, as workers for the region’s largest transit system walked off the job for the second time in four months.

The walkout began at midnight Thursday, the culmination of six months of on-again, off-again talks that fell apart. BART and the unions came “extremely close” to agreement on economic, health care and pension issues, but the parties were far apart on work rule issues, said Roxanne Sanchez, president of Service Employees International Union Local 1021.

Again, the Unions will do anything in their own bets interest and damn the public!
