Thank God! The strike which has crippled so much of our immediate and surrounding neighborhoods is finally over. The buses began rolling again tonight.
This is a real answer to prayer to so many of the families we work with who have been literally disabled in their daily routines.
A young guy from our teammembers (Bob and Susan) church got back into school (with their prodding and assistance) just before the strike, and he hadn't been back since.
Toya, a single mother who lives across the street from can now get to a new job which is about 3 miles away. She has no other way to get there an a regular basis.
The average annual salary for MTA mechanics is $50,000. They have access to several health plans through a union-administered trust fund. Single workers pay nothing for health care. Spouses pay $3 a month. Family coverage is $6 a month.
You can make your own conclusions.
