"I WENT TO COLLEGE AND THEY'RE MAKING MORE! HOW DAY THEY!?!?!" <br><br>They have a really CRAPPY job that serves a REALLY IMPORTANT function as you're discovering now that they've walked off. They get treated like garbage by their riders and their employer alike. SEPTA is mismanaged and if the corporation did a better job of treating their employees like human beings they might be able to avoid strikes every time contracts are up.ChrissMariTue, 03 Nov 2009 23:18:03 -0000http://septawatch.disqus.com/gender_sticker_hearing/#comment-22851006Can you install disqus or something to easily leave comments?
