I'm hoping that we don't have to strike. This dispute has gone on long enough, and it needs to be settled now.

We'll stop operating our buses and working on them, if we don't have an agreement by noon. Hopefully, we'll have an agreement, but if that doesn't happen, we'll just stop the service.

It has become a very hostile working environment. It's like working on a plantation. It's hard to greet passengers with a smile when you have employers constantly harassing employees.

To come to the table with that $5 co-pay is not negotiating in good faith.

If they disagree with that, no matter what the reason is, it's inevitable that we will be going on strike.
