Well, for now.  Even though the union voted to end the strike and go back to work while negotiations continued, there is no guarantee that they won’t strike again at the next negotiation impasse.  In fact, whatever happened yesterday did not address the main sticking point that is being reported as the main cause of the strike.

My commute was not really affected on the strike days.  But there was definitely more people traffic and it was clearly evident on the walk home when I would hit 3rd, 2nd and 1st Avenue.  In fact, I tried to stay on Park Avenue as long as possible because not a lot of people were walking there, and they have nice wide sidewalks with no stores that have sidewalk sections (Lexington is a bitch!).

The biggest advantage of the end of the strike for me will be not having to listen to co-workers complain about their commute.
