Brockport is a bit to far to drive, I was thinking about just picking up a local part time job, just in case we do strike, for gas money something like security or auto zone, only thing is they don`t pay anything

that's clear now....strikes never benefit either side. No one makes up the lost money;either side Its hard to recover from a strike, but some times the blue collar workers have to unify against being pushed around by Corporate America, I hope we have no strike, if we do I hope its a short one

there are alot of issues, such as working conditions, our average ambulance has 500,000 miles, most are duct taped together but yet they spend thousands of dollars installing all kinds of electrical equipment in each ambulance, including a spy camera

Don`t take long for some politician to try and get some credit for getting both sides back to the table, State senator Thomson taking some credit for getting talks going.
