  • lol pathetic. please enlighten us about the specifics regarding the unfair concessions proposed by management. oh thats right, there are none.

    oh noes you have to contribute to your pension!!! welcome to reality. it's funny seeing how quiet your union leadership has been in regards to damaging statements provided to the media; there's been little to no rebuttal.

  • Do these people know anything about basic economics? All companies have to reorganize every few years. You can't operate when your in the red. Sorry if that involves cutting costs. Where do you think they are going to get the money to keep operating? I work for a multi-billion dollar company and to ensure we stay that way and live through this recession we all took pay freezes. We don't know how long the economy will be the way it is. I'm LUCKY I was not laid off!!! Wake up People!

see all

  • When you have people that says they make 100k for driving a train and then they have the audacity to say they want a raise...You are out of your mind.

  • Keep fighting. The working people have never gotten anything in this country without uniting and fighting for it.

  • laborvideo, why are you so afraid to let differing opinions be expressed here? Is your case so weak that it can't withstand the slightest criticism?

  • it's sad to see how many people blame fellow working people for their own crummy job situation or for the crummy economy.

  • People who work for BART need to realized that they are lucky they have a job. I myself work for a $8 an hour and make a living paycheck to paycheck. One of the guys in the video say he is making 100K a year, thats more than I make in 5 years. I dont even get a raise and these guys are trying to ask for more money. I work overtime with no pay for the work I do closing. These guys are making my life terrible and need to see they are lucky to have a job like that and can support a family.
