Attack of the angry transit workers

So the MTA union workers have decided to set up their rally stage/protest spot/strike central literally 2 steps from my office on 42nd Street. It's eerie....and loud, you know with all the fun chanting and what have you. If there is a strike on Friday, the chaos will be undoubtedly untolerable. Plus, the L will most definitely (aside from the G) NOT be a priority train to get back up running (that's assuming some money hungry scabs come back to work) and rumor has it that the Taxis might sit out on Friday too...or if they don't they will only allow cabs with four people in them to enter the city. Great. Looks like I might be riding my bike, or staying home. Probably the latter since it's 19 degrees out. I'm all for unionization, by the way. I just pray that Bloomberg gives in before 12:01 so I don't get fucked over.
