We know you so had your fingers crossed for a three-day-weekend, but unless you take a private bus to work, it looks like you're stuck shlepping through midtown—at least until Tuesday. The union couldn't reach an agreement with the MTA, so they are closing down some forms of transportation that no has ever heard of, let alone ridden. Well, as long as the tourists and wads of money can get around, right?

The good news is that transit workers aren't on strike this morning.

The bad news is that it might not last.

After an all-night bargaining session with the MTA, officials with the Transit Workers Union announced Friday morning that they would not accept the MTA's contract proposal, and instead would begin a series of strikes to put pressure on the city.

TWU president Roger Toussiant said the job action would begin Friday with the privately-owned Jamaica and Tri-Borough bus lines, before spreading to city buses and subways.

A city-wide strike would begin Monday at midnight if no contract agreement was reached before then.

Try to get over the dissapointment of actually having to do something today—you know you just sit around reading blogs, bitching about your EIC, and gossiping with PR people about which beauty editor demanded what Dior product, anyways. Just be happy that Anna Wintour's private bus (and by bus, we mean limo) wasn't required to pick up any random-ass people off the street. That person on the street could have been you.
