Collected wisdom on strike matters

The ever-informed part-time SEPTA employee Pa_SuburbanGuy has been issuing all sorts of useful info for mass consumption to the SEPTA lovers on LiveJournal. I'm going to pull some of his advice together into one post, because the man knows what he's talking about.

1. Expect delays on Regional Rail trains early in the strike.

Be warned...it is possible that the TWU or UTU may establish picket lines at outlying Regional Rail yards in the first days of a work stoppage. If that happens, the trains will NOT roll at that location until an injunction is granted.

Union members on Regional Rail (UTU and BLET representing train and engine crews) WILL honor a TWU or UTU picket line and not cross it until it is cleared.
