Bus strike epilogue

I had a letter to the editor printed in the local paper about the bus strike which ended this week.

Dear Ottawa Citizen:
Mayor O'Brien--thanks to your hard-nosed negotiating, Ottawa bus drivers are slightly poorer. Sure, it cost all of us more than it saved, and many of us risked our lives or our jobs biking or hitchhiking to work at 20 below... but the final symbolic victory made it all worth it. I can't wait to see your next innovative morale-boosting and cost-saving strategy.
