I've been doing contract work in North Carolina for a while and have gotten out of touch with events in Chicago. However, yesterday I saw an internet news story that a strike vote was taken by unionized CTA workers. The story said it concerned work rules for bus drivers, but I guess if a strike happens it will involve train operators and other staff as well. What's going on? Any information will be appreciated!
