If the Septa workers strike, they should all be fired and replaced with people who appreciate having a job. Threatening to lock down the city on the eve of the world series is reprehensible, and they should be punished for this, not rewarded.
In this economy, the SEPTA rank and file needs to understand that they won't be able to get what they want, not 100%. This is NOT the time for a work action.
Fire all of them and rehire new workers. I'm pretty sure there's a bunch of people who are willing to replace the ones that are going on strike.
jfar86, SEPTA IS HIRING But they do not have MONEY right? Go to SEPTA.ORG and sign up. But I am sure it is beneath you right?

Ain't No Love In The City of PHILADELPHIA. A sad place to be, i have been here awhile and still say its not a place to call Home So looking to leave this sad sorry place How dare they call this the city of brotherly Love .I tell everyone i meet phila pa is not a place to raise a family the people here are so different ,just read the comments fire them what about septa thats one of the reason people are leaving this city today businesses are leaving it has become a city that only looks out for the people that have the money people that are making an effort to just have a fair start have to endure so much unfairness.I will pray for this place but I am so happy to now say I dont live in Phila Good Luck to the union and thank you for your work if you have to strike do it you deserve to be treated Fair
I have spoken to many SEPTA workers. They informed me they did not want to strike. They said that the Union President is declaring a strike on his own. The so-called vote for a strike was a joke. Everyone at the meeting was ushered out after an hour of fighting and a vote was never taken. We need to sue SEPTA and ask the courts to outlaw the strike since SEPTA gets Federal funding and the strike will affect thousands of riders, including myself.
unions do have their pros and cons,,unfortunately if the union leaders say "strike",u have no say in the matter,,u have to strike or there are consequences,,i'm not taking any blame off the workers themselves since if u interview them on TV,i'm quite sure they would be "For" the strike. with so many people out of work and looking for a job,,i'm quite sure replacing all their jobs would be no problem at all. they've been without a contract since March if i'm not mistaken,,they purposely waited until this weekend to do this. they want more money?,they get paid enough,,they want better medical?,many dont have any medical insurance at all,,,they should be thankful for what they have and that they have a job at all,,,this is just all about greed. they don't deserve it.
There's a special place in Hades for these jerks if they strike today
I am a pro union man but to call a strike in this economy is totally crazy. The union needs to back down today or there are many, many unemployed people who would love to work in transit.
Yo! - Editors...wake up. Under the heading "What SEPTA Service Will Not Run?" you have listings, then a map, then another listing for Regional Rails with no new heading or intro - as if the Regionals are not running - confusing - fix! And your links to the schedules - click R7; you get Cynwyd.
Thanks, Philed. We will amend those errors and stop linking to this map while we do.
