cowgrrltransit strike, day one
Dec. 20th, 2005 10:45 amIt normally takes me 3 hours to get out of the house (an hour for cooking, eating breakfast, setting up vitamins & meds for the day, reading paper or magazine; another hour for brushing teeth, setting up gauze bandages and topical meds and compression stockings, and doing floor exercises while watching TV news; and third hour for removing soft cast and applying topical meds, wrapping gauze bandages, pulling on stockings, powdering pits, shaving, & getting dressed), but today while still wearing my soft cast (which I wear at night and normally would not wear outside the house) and sweats I drove Shoshana to work. She normally works in lower Manhattan, but today was allowed to clock in at her employer's downtown Brooklyn office, and from there she can walk over the Brooklyn Bridge to her office on company time. Since her employer is the target of the strike (she has a management title) I aided and abetted her crossing a picket line, but love comes before principles, and damned if I'm going to sit still and let her walk an hour in the early a.m. cold.
NYC Transit should address the TWU's just grievances about working conditions and petty disciplinary harassment, & the TWU should be more realistic about compensation and health care costs. I hope this impasse ends soon.
