Post a commentMagdalena...I agree...
The nurses seem to be getting a lot of credit...
If credit is due...fine...but I wonder how a girl could go to school...and no-one has the "cajones" to say that the girl needs to be protected by the police...or an agency...
I see a lot of blame to go around...
3am walkout of the fourth biggest transit in the country! Striking septa workers start fires to slow down the other transit systems! average septa worker makes $55.000 a year! We the people are on the brink of a do or die with America! Cruschoff??? was right. Not a single bullet. I'm buying a gun.
Tina- unlike a lot of the Septa workers, I bet you have a college degree.
The unions are not to blame for the dirty buses. The riders are.
"[...]the trials and tribulations of animals, and other things that don't matter in the long run": eff you Donna Di Giacomo. Some people, unlike the union and YOU, care about things other then themselves. Don't knock people are work to make conditions better for sentient beings who can't defend themselves against the negative effects of this city's residents.
nb378, I agree with you about the animals. What did they do to deserve to be maligned? A person can be angry about the stike AND care about animals.
i was nodding my head while reading tina's letter... i have experienced the bus driving away from me when i was close enough to board - once the driver closed the door, and sat at a red light, but would not let me on. they never pull over to let people on/off, which is a problem for the riders and the vehicles driving nearby, as we never can tell what a bus is going to do next... these don't sound like workers whose valuable services could never be replaced.
Yo Donna Giacomo - you can't be angry about Septa without looking like a complete a**? The media should ignore such things as animals being tortured and something that brings great unity to the city like the World Series, and just focus on you not being able to get on the bus? Some people should just not exist.
who cares about friggin roosters? it's despicable the way people care more about roosters than people.
dreinterests, I've forgotten that one cannot care about both humans and animals at the same time. Silly me, of course they are mutually exclusive. *rolls eyes*
SEPTA's workers and their union should all be dismissed.
I took the R-5 on Sunday and the Septa people I spoke with couldn't have been nicer. Stereotypes are useful to no one.
bunch looks like a giant quivering dollop of pudding.
the regional rail operators are in a different union and are a whole different story. they're nice, yes, in stark contrast to city operators.
Interesting that more people seem to be concerned with how "their" commute was interrupted by SEPTA than the suffering of Charlenni or the twin girls hit by a car...Your true nature is showing Philly! For those calling for the burning of the union members...again, what a great group of people you are! YOU make the buses dirty, YOU put the lives of drivers and passengers in jeopardy, YOU kill each other at an alarming rate, YOU are only concerned about YOU and DO NOTHING unless it affects YOU. Where were all of you people when the union contract was up months ago? I'm listening to the silence! So glad to be in the burbs...
