More than 30,000 New York City transit workers go on strike early Tuesday, shutting down nation's largest public transit system.
"With the strike announcement, members of the Transit Workers Union (TWU) began shutting down the city's trains, buses and subways, affecting more than 7 million people who use the system on a typical day.
City officials have said a transit strike could cost the city as much as $400 million a day.
...Hours before the strike, Toussaint said transit workers were prepared to lower their wage increase demands to below 6 percent if the MTA agreed to reduce the number of disciplinary actions launched against transit workers and grant other concessions."
