Twitchy told you over the weekend about the latest public transportation work stoppage in the Bay Area. After sabotaging the Monday commute, there’s still no end in the sight to the BART strike.

Seems like many residents in the liberal enclaves of northern California might finally be souring on Big Labor’s non-labor temper tantrums.
Here are 50 people on Twitter pissed at union leaders holding them hostage. Baby steps. Better late than never.

I've been one about equality and fair work practices. But BART is just being greedy. #BARTstrike

It makes me giggle that anyone believes the #BARTstrike is about safety. It is about greed. Unions think they are above economic reality.

Wasn't BART created for commuters by our money? Now the workers are holding us hostage by striking. #BARTstrike #greed

Due to the BART strike, I had to ride my bike to work today. So much fun! Thanks angry union folks for making me less lazy! ??
— Andy McLoughlin (@Bandrew) October 21, 2013
BART strike will do damage to #unions efforts to regain prominence. Unreasonable demands in public forum seem selfish. Many have much less.

The fact that I have to wake up an hour earlier and take 3 buses to get to school because of the bart strike is just ridiculous.

Day FOUR. How many more days will the Bay Area be held hostage? #bartstrike
— Smashley (@SMASHley_62) October 21, 2013
#BARTstrike: sympathy wanes when millions of us are held hostage AGAIN. Tough job market – bargain in good faith or walk away. #greatergood

Had to use a cab after uber etc all had waits. Cabbie refuses to go requested route, drives into downtown traffic. I hate this #BARTstrike

@sarahelawton if Bart strike wasn't happening then the deaths would not have occurred. #bartstrike I hate the unions

If #president #Reagan can fire and replace all the air traffic controllers why can't #Obama step in and do the same for this #BARTstrike

#BartStrike is making unions look terrible. They should not be able to hold the Bay Area hostage for their own personal gain. #Bart

I hate this BART strike. Any sympathy for BART workers is gone.
