WESTRIDGE, Ohio - More than 600 transportation employees went on strike at midnight last night after the Westridge City Council rejected their demand for a 10% pay increese. The strike affects all bus and rail services throughou communities of Turlock, Smithfield, and Lowell Grove.
We hoped we would not be forced to strike, but until our demands are met, we really have no choice, said Wenda Thompson, a representative of the Transportation Employees Union. We simply don't get paid what we deserve." Members of the Westridge City Council see the situation differently. *Our employees already eam 6% more than the state average for similar transportation jobs,* said Raoul Cobian, President of the Westridge City Council.
Hopefully the two groups can come to an agreement soon and bring this unnecessary strike to an end.
