i dont feel sad for the city. i was raised in philly and all my life and thank god i moved out. if you knew the contract was going to end, can you atleast try your best to solve it before anything happens, but yea philly was always last minute about these things. all i can say is sucks for you huh

[seClip9]

Nope, I live near the Regional Rail and I can still ride them down to Center City Philly. I can still head to college (DCCC) via the Norristown Trolley and the Route 112 bus, but my friend told me that there are reports that workers from Victory Garage might join the strike too if there is no new contract approved. It could affect my transportation to college.

Thx for the info, if septa had another transit co. to compete with they'd problably never go on strike I hate them for this.

[seClip9]

Yeah, plus not only it will affect daily passengers who go to work and other places they needed to go, it will also provide inconvenient for sport fans who are trying to get down to sport stadiums as a result of strike leading to shutdown of it.

Most of you union bashers are just jealous because you don't earn what those driver's earn. I use SEPTAS often. Those guy and girls have the lives of thousands a day in their hands. I think they deserve more than what they get. Instead of begrudging them for wanting to make a decent living for their families, why don't you go get a decent job paying a decent salary?

my father works for septa, their trying to cut their pensions and insurance...

Well septa sux, their workers have been with out a contract since may 09

SEPTA has some nerve to threaten to go on strike AGAIN.

Whats wrong? Getting away with lazy service while making almost $30 an hour isn't enough for them?
