Transit Strike

A lot of people rely on the transit system here in London. The bus system has been a very affordable way to travel, especially with the recession, and provides the convenience of not having to find a parking spot (not mention not having to spend a ridiculous amount to park for one hour).

The down side, however, is when the transit system shuts down, like today. London transit workers have decided to go on strike for many reasons (including some that I agree with), but also for the usual cause of getting more money. I don't know about anyone else, but when I hear that people are going on strike because they want more money... I want to slap them all! Here we are in a time of financial hardship, where companies are shutting down left and right due to a lack of financial resources, and these people go on strike with MONEY in mind.
What the hell?

I'm not even kidding. Stop being so greedy and be thankful that you still have a job. There are thousands of people in Canada who are no longer employed and who would love to work.
