LinkLinks Washington Post: The strike that shut down Metro for nearly a week in 1978 By Editor On May 6, 2022 Last updated May 6, 2022 56 Share In 1974, Caroyln Stieff was 22 and training to be a member of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority’s first cohort of female bus operators when an older co-worker stopped her from entering work. He placed his foot gently on hers, she recalled, and said: “Let me tell you something. I’m going to give you this dime. You go over there to that phone booth, and you call them inside, and say that we wouldn’t let you cross the picket line.” 56 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
