Nutter Irate at SEPTA Surprise Strike
Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009 549 viewsPHILADELPHIA – Philadelphia mayor Michael Nutter blasted SEPTA’s transit union for a calling a strike with little notice to commuters on Tuesday.
“People had already gone to bed. Some people were already at their job,” Nutter said. “To find out you can’t get home is the height of the lack of consideration.”
The transit union called for a strike right after the Phillies won in Game 5 of the World Series and workers walked out at 3 a.m.
“There was no good reason for this,” Nutter said. “It is outrageous.”
