SFGate.com commenter is a state worker complaining about "reckless" BART unions

A comment after an SF Chron article about the BART strike:

This is a very poor "false equivalence" article. Almost all commenters of SFGate and everyone I know blamed the unions. The only reason we are mad at management is because they caved.

The unions exercised pure greed an were rewarded. All of us other state workers got a 4.5% total raise over 3 years. The BART union's reckless behavior puts all of our pensions at risk.


This is America today: Working people hating other working people.

"Make BART run 24 hours" I liked them for a while, then with this strike they turned rabidly anti union, I made a pro union post and found I was no longer able to comment on their stuff (Like pointing out that when someone makes an additional $60,147 on overtime, they are working 60 hour weeks, or so, both earning their pay, and endangering people by being overworked) so I no longer follow them.
