CITY OF PHILADELPHIA FILES MOTION TO FORCE WORKERS BACK ON ELECTION DAY HEARING TOMORROW GOVERNOR TOM WOLF SHILLING AGAINST STRIKE
>"On November 8, 2016, hundreds of thousands of Philadelphians will cast ballots for President, Senator, and other important offices. The City has a legal responsibility to ensure that Philadelphians can exercise their constitutional right to vote. Though there are extensive efforts to minimize the effect of any transit strike on Election Day, unquestionably, such an Election-Day strike will make it practically impossible for many Philadelphians to participate in this election. While there is still time for SEPTA and TWU to resolve the strike before Election Day, the Law Department must act now to ensure that as many Philadelphia residents as possible can vote without disruption. As a result, we are asking the Court for temporary relief."
>"Due to the inability of SEPTA and TWU to reach a compromise, I will file an amicus brief in support of the immediate injunction pending before the court to ensure that the system is fully operational and able to serve the individuals who rely solely on SEPTA for their transportation needs."
CHECKED FOR BASED LABOUR UNIONS HOLD UP THE LINE DON'T GIVE IN!
Kevin Allen
They're actually going to do it. I never thought I would see this happen in my life.
LOOKS LIKE SLAVERY'S BACK, BOYS!

Top kek. A few of us called this. The bus drivers should not show up at the last minute or show up but not do anything.
Lucas Cook
What is the state going to do? fire them? whoa who wants to be a bus driver anyway.
Evan Bell
They are looking for an excuse to fire them and hire scabs. The drivers, if they have smart representation, will draw things out to election day or make it hard to hire scabs to replace the drivers.
Jose Taylor
We should make matters worse by doing what has suggested.
Doesn't driving a bus require some knowledge of routes and possession of a CDL? inb4 they hire drivers who don't know the routes and go wildly of course.
John Cooper
This could be mega illegal if they try to force them, right? It's not like their right to organize and strike goes away because election season.
Connor Thomas
Shut your mouth Brian
Jace King
If they hired scabs couldn't the union just picket the depot and prevent the buses from going out anyways?
Isaiah Nelson
Dem operatives will probably remove them.
Ayden Carter
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Thank you Kek.
Oliver Morgan
That, or sabotage the buses. Take the wheels off or something. Or set up some severe tire damage traps outside the depot. They're a union, they've got to have some mafia connections.
Juan Edwards
But democrats are pro union! How could they do such a thing!
Jokes aside a riotous brawl outside the depot isn't going to let those buses out any easier than a picket line.
Christopher Flores
They should slash all bus tires for good measure.
Landon Thompson
Leftists are the lowest form of scum imaginable.
Luis Thomas
literal slavery
Isaiah Gonzalez
(Checked)
We need to meme this 'slavery' angle to perpetuate the strike.

Aiden Moore
This could be a silver bullet, Philly is what makes Pennsylvania blue.
Wyatt Wright
Fucking hell, they reached a deal and ended the strike. We need to make sure the rest of Pennsylvania knows they'll have to come out in record numbers to offset this. Is there any way to incite massive riots in Philly tomorrow?

Public employees can only strike if the government lets them, since they run important public infrastructure.
It's just all a publicity stunt.
Nolan Wood
What a crock of shit. First, the city has no such legal obligation. Any such duty is strictly constructive, meaning that there are no penalties for failure. Second, none of the city's voters are having their rights curtailed by the strike. Nothing is stopping them from walking or getting a ride. It's just inconvenient for the customers, which I thought was the point of a transit strike.
Democrats breaking labor to elect a Wall Street candidate. Now I've seen everything.
Thomas Ross
Im pretty sure the people getting hired would know exactly where the voting is being done
Connor Kelly
Checked. PA checking in, Wolf is a total socialist cuck-really, he is a fucking cuck personified. The union seems to be holding their ground, stupid niggers are actually falling for the same old tricks. I never thought I would be cheering for a union, but oh well-only Western Civilization is at stake.
