I think he thinks being inconvenienced is stupid, but when you're
marketing transportation alternatives, a disruption to the status quo
in the transportation industry can be a great opportunity for your
cause. It wakes people up to how much they rely on public
transportation, but also provides an opportunity for those of us who
help empower individuals to take control of their transportation needs
in economically and environmentally sustainable ways. We need public
transit, and the people who work in transit deserve adequate
compensation, but we also need personal transit, and hopefully bikes
are starting to look a lot more appealing than cars to fill that need.
A transit strike at the very least provides an opportunity to have
that conversation.

wait, you're interested in collectives, but you think workers self- organizing in their industry is stupid? or maybe i'm
misunderstanding and you're saying the city/management is stupid, or
the way it inconveniences people, or bureaucratic unions..? still,
it would be nice to see more solidarity between different forms of
workplace democracy.macho
