What Readers Want to Know About the BART Strike

We asked readers if they could get one question about the BART strike answered what would it be?  

Here is what they had to say:

• Stan DeStill Where does the sense of entitlement come from?
• Danna Mouat Why don't they use all of the people that are out if work as replacements (like me)?
• Dan Scannell Why didn't BART management/Board of Directors plan to have the system running with replacement workers, instead of just shutting it all down
• Cheryl Bicker Why?
• Michael Ford Why is the bart average salary higher then police officers.
• Billy Bloomer Can I take their place. I would totally work there for 70k and their benefits.
• Ben Walrod Yea how much does Bart management salary cost us tax payers?? Nobody ever asks that! Blame the union thugs like always!!
• Amanda Ekbom Other unions like Nurses have replacement workers to run the operation during a strike. Why does a Hospital have that but not BART?? I would think it would be easier.
• Shannon Pervere If they are wanting a pay increase due to ridership will they be willing to take a pay decrease of ridership goes down?
• Terri Stearman I'd want to know why they think they deserve a pay increase, especially considering the fact they have had cost of living increases since their last contract. What exactly have they done to "deserve" these raises.
• Piyush Shastri When will the greed end?
• Bev White Barrett my question/statement would be "welcome to the 21st century and man up to some of your benefits like most people do"
• Carolyn Kay Squier Green Why give the unions more?
• Sharon Strong Cabral Is it greed?
• Kevin Kelly What is a fair wage for a simple job that requires no experience and only a high school education when there is 9-12% unemployment?
