'It'll just be mass chaos'
City high school math teacher Bailey Walker, of East Northport, thinks — and hopes — that strike threats are all talk, that a deal will be reached before midnight Friday into Saturday and there will be no strike.
“If it does, it will be disastrous,” she said. “I'm on Long Island, so alternative for travel is buses, which there aren't enough buses for everyone. So it’ll just be mass chaos.
"People won't be able to get to work. People who can't work from home won't be able to go in. It’ll be bad.”
