Compassionate, are you kidding me. What a load of nonsense. He needs to be run out of town. I say he should be ut on the next bus out of town, but I can't because they are not running.
"Scraps off the Table" Ha!!! You're kidding me right??? These employees are lucky to have a job. Most of them are completely worthless with absolutely no work ethic or even a hint of proper customer service skills. They make Philadelphia look horrible to any outsider that uses Septa. Close the whole system down and hire an entirely new workforce. A workforce that wants a job and wants to do it well!
Compassionate. Not. He's a money grubber, an attention grubber and no better than a street thug. I question his intelligence at even calling for a strike. These guys ought to be glad they have jobs, a paycheck, health insurance and a pension to fall back on.
It would not ne so bad if they did not suck! They sit in the boof and tell you they do not sell tokens. That is all the union and thier work rules. You want ot get paid more - put some effort in!

It is nice to see a union leader with the guts to do what it takes to get a good contract. All they are doing is defending what they have. Their demands are to have a cost of living raise every year and not to have to pay more for health care and pensions. Totally reasonable. All of us deserve such things. It may be a pain to get to work but I, for one, support TWU!.
Considering Willie's "poorly timed" decisions affected tens of thousands of Philidelphians, I think we deserve MUCH more than just an apology.
his purpose is to keep poor people from getting to where they need to go. people who barely make ends meet barely have money for tokens, so they don't have money for cabs or regional trains. i guess he likes to keep the black man down
I will stand beside my labor Brother Brown. I don't see any of you people using your full name to spout your opinions.

Dah! One stupid rejoinder after another. When aked about how the public views him, he says he's hated. Now, when questioned about the timing of the strike, he "regrets" calling it when he did. But hey, he'd do it all over again.
This jackazz deserves to loose his job asap!
if he had a gripe with nutter he couldve gone over his head to rendell. hes just tring to make a name for himself.fire them all, break the union and train the unemployed to run septa or let the government take it over since greedy corporate america seems determined to kill off capitaism and ring in socialism.
@Redjoe. "Their demands are for a cost of living raise every year" Well, we're in a period of DECREASING prices/deflation which is why there is no Social Security increase for 2011 (and it's why States like Colorado are LOWERING their minimum wage). Further, we would all like a raise in life---but let's face it, the economy is rough and most firms have pay freezes or pay CUTS. Your next comment: "not to have to pay more for health care". They are paying 1% of the premium today and are being asked to go up to 4%. I don't know about you, but most companies have employees pay 25-50%, and in some cases, 100% of the premium. I would be HAPPY to only pay 1% or 4% or even 10%...but going from 1% to 4% is the end of the world for the union.
God bless him for admitting his mistake. It takes a big man to do that. It gives me a brand new perspective on the strike. i hope they find a settlement that works for everyone soon.
