State Rep. calls for binding arbitration to end strike

 State Rep. Brendan F. Boyle, (D-Phila./Montgomery) says he will introduce a House resolution on Monday calling on both sides in the ongoing SEPTA strike to agree to binding arbitration in the event the work stoppage continues into next week.

 “After eight months without a contract, and four days of a strike with no end in sight, it is clear that binding arbitration is needed,” said Boyle. “In this specific context, binding arbitration is a reasonable way to obtain a contract that treats both parties fairly and gets SEPTA back up and running.”

I say...do what Truman did in 1946...sign an executive order...stating that anyone who does not get back to work...will be inducted into the military... That ended the crippling RR strike of 1946 really quick...

Mr. Representative, please do this and please take it a step further and work on getting the Commonwealth something like the Taylor Law in New York State.
