Overall I just don't like how they just throw us to the dirt and say screw them. Like we are ready to work every day, we shouldn't have our medical stripped from us OR our pay due to greed and lack of common sense on both ends. Just like they tried screwing with us during Covid when if we came in and our school was closed they only wanted to give us 4 hours. Screw that I'm here ready for a full day I shouldn't be penalized due to a third party being closed and same in this situation. You don't wanna pay us fine but we should some how be able to keep our medical because once again this isn't us causing the stoppage

Regarding the 4 hours ... could it be you were not here long enough at the time to get guaranteed weeks?
We should not lose pay or benefits. We have a contract with the company. Their contract with the city is their problem and shouldn't be our fight. But then, they got away with it during COVID, didn't they?
Buzz what they get away with and what is right are two different things . There are certain things we shouldn't have turned away from or allowed deals to be made . The deals or favors always go uphill but the $hit only runs downhill

You can say that again!
I don't understand why the news outlets are reporting that we are going on strike why isn't the union stepping in and contacting the news outlets to let them know it is the owners that are laying us off. We are not going on strike. Fake news is going to hurt us.

I can't tell you the countless comments I have seen on Facebook, SI live and other SI neighborhood sites stating we are going on strike EVEN one worse one a bus driver(not sure of the company) told a parent he was going on strike tonight by attending tonight!!! I quickly commented and corrected her stating tonight is a rally not a strike because if it were a strike your child wouldn't be getting picked up tomorrow. The surge of misinformation is spreading nonstop of us striking when we clearly aren't. I know we are blamed for mostly everything but give us a break here lol.
Soooooo Any Update? I heard Anthony say something over the radio but it was all broken up.

Nothing changed. Even if 10,000 people went nothing would change.
I think we would have had a better chance if it was 10,001

I knew it would be a complete waste of time. I have never seen any kind of demonstration or "show of support" that made a shit's bit of difference ... except maybe the civil rights marches of the '60s but that's because the Supreme Court got involved.
