My response: Since the drivers are paid well. I am surprised you (and others on this board) focus your anger solely at the Gov & Met Council. Compared to other cities and local private companies, the MTC drivers make $6 to $9/hour more per hour (when comparing top pay). That is 27% to 41% more! If you REALLY care about the poor, you must be upset at both sides of this strike. BOTH appear selfish to me. If you choose one side, then you have a political agenda. Loaned out my pickup again today. I am driving a tenant to a doctor's appointment tomorrow afternoon (tenants now make appointments). Regards, Bill Cullen Whittier Landlord. REMINDERS: 1.
