Ted,
BART workers resort to strikes because that is their only recourse.
Recourse for what? Getting higher than what is already the highest salaries for transit workers in the state?

You really don't get it if you think BART workers aren't making a "living wage." That's part of the reason why your question is stupid.

I get the fact that since it's expensive to live here, public workers should be paid more than the average. But they already do, and by a generous margin, more so than the margin workers in the private sector gets by working here over some other place like, you know, Seattle.

The fact that you don't see that tells me that you don't get it, and that you will just listen to union rhetoric until the cows come home.
