MTA Mechanics Strike in Los Angeles (Oct 14 2003 15:29 GMT) - "A strike is not only unnecessary, but it will do great harm to county bus riders who depend on public transportation for their livelihoods, MTA Board Chairman Zev Yaroslavsky said, Moreover, it will inflict real harm on striking employees and their families, because the income they lose by striking can never be made up. It makes no sense to them, to our customers or to our community for our workers to walk out." Yaroslavsky noted that despite facing the worst fiscal crisis in decades, brought on largely by the state budget meltdown, the MTA has offered pay raises and substantially more money for health and other benefits to its mechanics and service attendants. Union leaders, he emphasized, have rejected four contract offers in the past year without even sharing those with their members. The biggest issue dividing MTA negotiators and union leaders is over contributions to health benefits. |

NASA just put up some new pictures of it taken using the Hubble telescope: The galaxy's hallmark is a brilliant white, bulbous core encircled by the thick dust lanes comprising the spiral structure of the galaxy. Now that is a stylin' piece of cosmos. You can go here for a full-screen view, or if you really want to zoom in and see close detail, view an enormous 7. |
