Counting Down

Apologies for the Ads and the shameless firefox plug. I just wanted to put up a quick and dirty countdown to the utter chaos that would be a transit strike. Ugh.

Countdown To Possible Pandemonium”

UPDATE: NY1 has nothing new to report. Not much else in the NYC papers either. Supposedly the MTA was supposed to give the TWU their final offer by 9 pm so they could vote by 12:00, but since the MTA made their final offer on Thursday there isn’t much to say about that. The only change I can see is the the TWU says they will now accept 6% raises each of the next 3 years instead of the 9% they were originally asking for. But the MTA doesn’t seem to be going up from the 3% in their final offer. Argh!
