## Resource

Public transport workers are on the brink of strikes this fall after four months of stalled negotiations. Unions demand a 6% raise, inflation adjustments, and relief from crushing workloads, while employers push back with requests for flexible scheduling, retirement plan changes, and new pay rules for irregular hours. Both sides accuse the other of unreasonable demands, with unions warning they’ll begin planning action as early as late August if no progress is made by Monday. With 13,000 workers at stake, tensions are rising—and strikes may be unavoidable if talks collapse. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
