If it was actually about better wages and working conditions, well, you might have a point... but, it's not. Unions today are about increased membership dues, with which to play politics. Public transportation has always been a heavily subsidized entity, needing efficient use of equipment, routes and personnel. The City Council was warned of inefficiencies in these areas years ago and offered an alternative. They failed (as usual) to use common sense, and kicked the can down the road. There won't be a "winner" in this strike... there never is. Sympathy to employees, riders and management. Continuing exasperation with the City Council, who keep "Old" as the operative word in Old Pueblo.
