If Metro Metro rail workers go on strike on Wed Dec 18th (next week), I'd say fire them all -- just as President Ronald Reagan did to the traffic controllers in the 1980s (aka the Ronald Reagan shuffle).

It sounds they are resisting the inevitable: privatization. The government just doesn't have the money to keep everything public. It looks like the communists are still hard at work at throwing a monkey wrench in the works.

How serious will the subway disruption be?

Why should they privatize it?

Even NYC's system is public. Although Tokyo's system is slowly being privatized (almost 30-years and slowly continuing). Anyways a privately run subway system will most likely be begging for government money anyways.
