Thanks for the article. I was wondering what the strike was all about, as CNN did a piss poor job of telling me.
I think Transit's proposal sounds reasonable. My only question would be is there a grandfather clause for raising the retirement age? i.e. if you are 53 and planned on retiring in 2 years with a full pension, as you had expected to for the last 30 years on the job, would you still be allowed to? Or would you have to work another 9 years to get your pension?
edit: after a closer reading I realized it said for new employees only.
h: Go back to work you lazy schmucks!
