That was my line of thinking when the union suggested a rotating strike. They say it's because they don't want to hurt the transit rider, but, I have a feeling drivers have bills like the rest of us and would rather miss a few days pay as opposed to losing all pay and being on the picket lines.

If the city locks them out the union will put out it's spin saying riders should be upset at the city and not them. Me thinks it would be a short strike if they are locked out. Strike pay is not going to come close to paying the bills and financial concerns will force the drivers back to work.
