According to this LINK, drivers on the PA turnpike don't have to pay tolls today because of a strike by the toll collectors. Tomorrow, the booths will be staffed by nonunion collectors.
Funny part is, the teamster's local makes this statement "We truly regret the inconvenience to the traveling public.....". What inconvenience? NOT having to pay the tolls?
From what I have been reading about air traffic this holiday weekend, it might be quicker and less hassle to drive anyway.

Wish that would happen down here. I gotta go through 2 or 3 tolls before I can get home.

 

So, my question is, if there aren't any union toll collectors around, and there's no toll...why are there tolls in the first place? It seems they don't really need them that badly if they're gonna be going on strike and the non-union people aren't collecting tolls. Heck, why is ANYBODY in the toll booths? Just leave the mechanical arms in the upright position and have a great day! Crazy people man...

 

yup, no tolls on the Pikes today in PA...crazy things went on thou...many poeple that were striking were blocking the boths and roads to get on the pikes...

It's almost three in the morning here and there was still a ton of strikers standing around the burn barrels when I passed a little bit ago...

there was a group of truckers that totally blocked a main exchange today, they parked there trucks so to block the WHOLE both system and went to the outback steak house, that is right off the road, and had lunch....no-one could get on or off at that exhange....

 

Those kinda actions are how riots start!
