CLANG, CLANG, CLANG WENT THE TROLLEY - NOT

I come from a family with a strong union history, but it's so hard to remain pro-union when I read shit like this.

The 48th annual Cable Car Bell Ringing Contest was held yesterday. Or should I say, should have been held yesterday. It seems that the contestants, all members of the Transportation Workers Union Local 250-A, decided the night before to not participate in the beloved annual event, so it was canceled.

The workers are upset that many aspects of their contracts are disappearing, like free parking and ridiculous overtime calculations. Also, there is a measure on the November ballot (Prop. G). It will end the practice of MUNI operators the guarantee of being the second highest-paid transit workers in the country and instead, make their wages subject to collective bargaining.

Isn't that how's it's supposed to be already?

I don't know who's doing the PR work for this union, but I'm thinking they are WAY over paid. Everyday, there are stories like this in the news and it makes these operators look like a bunch of insolent, spoiled, and entitled little pricks.

I plan to vote YES on Proposition G and hope you all do the same.
