strike! strike! strike!

[rkt]

i remain, after taking longer than usual to get to work and walking more than usual, but still making it into manhattan via car, pro-union/worker anti-strike.

i mean, if i could go on strike to get 8% a year, i'd be there in less than a minute. it's not like twu is asking for a lot. and i still don't understand how city workers can't strike. (yeah, the taylor law. fine. so the city/mta should work better with the union so as to not be put into such a position. it gives the employer far too strong of an advantage.)

this does not mean it is fair. homeless clients with appointments to "prove" they are elligible for homelessness assistance at a location 5+ miles away are supposed to find their own way there, or potentially risk being found elligible.
um, what?

hra/welfare is being flexible, theoretically. but we'll see how things look 2 weeks from now when information appears to be missing, but is really only more misfiled than usual.

and those who have no/minimal support system and are trying to work? forget it.

the wrong people end up being hurt. which is not twu's fault.

i love how 311, the city info line which is 212.639.9675 (new york) for out of area-ers, stresses the strike is "illegal", which is total and free sspin on their part. most of the news peoples state the same thing.

i'm so annoyed. and cranky. but i have a full paycheck.
and a bonus from the city for kicking ass last year. but that's another story that could make me happy, but is liable to leave me annoyed-er.
