Funnily enough, Sun Tran hired quite a few workers during this time, in order to provide as much limited strike service as possible. There were also some of the regular drivers who crossed the picket line and came back to work, because THEY couldn't afford to remain on strike for two months, and because they could see the damage being done to the community.
Sounds like a lousy contract if they were allowed to bring in Scabs.
Also sounds like poor planning by the Union and its members if they were thst hard pressed for cash. My contract is up in roughly 18 months. I'm already putting away "War Funds" in case we have to walk out and my Union will pay about 65% of my after tax paycheck for up to 3 months if we gave to walk out.
