Default New York City Cab Drivers strike

The New York Taxi Workers Alliance called a strike of about 90% of all cabbies to stay at home and make the commute for daily workers that much harder. It is supposedly going to be a 2 day strike that started this Wednesday morning. People are going to have take the subway to work if you want to get to work today. Expect very crowded subway carts over these next 48 hours. Thanks god I have my own car!
