There was a big strike in the late 70s, I think, right on the heels of a subway strike. It lasted about 2 months. In July - during a garbage strike in NYC. Everyone had to crush into busses in the Port Authority. Heat wave + piles of garbage + busses packed like sardine cans. My direct route to/from the bus was through Hell's Kitchen - which lived up to its name. Ugh.
