BART Strike Set

From what I heard in passing, a BART strike is set for Monday ... just in time for work! As to be expected, I support the strike. I believe in supporting workers, shunning scabs and being in solidarity with those trying to keep their benefits or striving to make their working conditions better. I know riders are going to be upset, but it needs to be noted that if it weren't for unions, anarchists and other activists, there no forty-hour work week and nor would there be many of the protections workers have. Haymarket still matters today ... despite what you may hear.
