If it’s Friday it must be a Roman transit strike

A co-worker is in Rome this week and we’ve been keeping touch over IM. He told me today that, gosh, there’s a transit strike this Friday and he hopes it doesn’t put a crimp in his plans. I told him that Italians have transit strikes every few weeks, mostly when they want a long weekend.

As bad as American unions are, they could be a lot worse. They could be like European unions.
