i just found it

[prozac]

I'm not too worried.

[Pussy*Kat]

Why???

[KenJi]

Neither am I.

They have only had one strike in the history of the skytrain and that was only a day.

They have gone to mediation every time except one when it comes time for a new agreement towards all that salary/wages stuff.

When it happens i'll believe it.

Remember even when everything else was down skytrain was still going during the bc translink strike though skytrain is a different union

[KenJi]

i dunno though 90% is pretty bad odds

[thechix0r]

Yay.. I love unions. This province has way too many of them

[crookedking]

do do dooo! all stations are terminant stations. would everyone please get off.

imagine a robot going on strike.

^ HA HA If the SkyTrain goes on Strike they should just wait until a Train fills at Rush Hour and just never open the Doors again until the conflict is resolved. You get faster and better results with Hostages!

ding ding DINNNNNG The next Station is... YOUR UNTIMELY... DEMISE!!!!

no strike for at least 5 more days
and i highly doubt they'll strike on weekdays, probably not even around holidays. who'd want to be on picket lines on christmas day?

hrmm.. I could make money becoming a taxi cab!

I'm glad if my bf can't drive me in the morning, I just work like a 20min walk away from home.

^^making money becoming a taxi cab, is a very good idea :)

[Séguin]

I don't get it. Isn't the train automated?

i guess they still need people at control centers monitoring trains and whatnot, doing maintenance, cleaning trains, opening up the stations

people who realise that this is probably the best Time of year to get their demands answered post haste.

I guess I just don't see how this would make a huge impact. The system could still run, just probably not as efficantly.

[mekim]

they aren't legally allowed to run it without support staff there.

Could you elaborate/clarify/expand this statement?

[prozac]

duh, someone still has to sit behind a computer, manning the controls...

That person goes on strike, what, is Hal going to run the entire system by himself?
