Obama order forces Philly rail workers back on job

49. For those of us who live in Philly

and have been following this for some time, the out from left field nonsense about "PATCO" and "walking shoes" and God forbid, Arne Duncan, just underscores not only the lack of critical thinking, but the lack of any thinking at all in an attempt to continue to promote a ridiculous nefarious agenda.

As a on-topic side note - the fact that after decades, a Transportation funding bill was signed into law in PA that FINALLY provided Septa with dedicated funding from the state (supplementing the tens of millions provided by the city & any from the feds + the amount from fares), meant that the whole negotiating environment changed. Yet Septa management glossed over this. So this was the perfect strategic move to force the issue and underscore that "economic issues" could no longer be used as an excuse to screw the workers.
