HAVE YOUR SAY: Federation Transport Union Strike The Issue The Federation Transport Union, citing continued Nausicaan pirate attacks and Klingon raids that have killed dozens of transport crews, is currently on strike. All shipping and transit runs have been suspended, including those of 812 major shipping carriers. The Transport Union argues that President Nan Bacco and the Federation Council have not done enough to protect the shipping routes, particularly those connecting the outer colonies to the core worlds. President Bacco, who unsuccessfully attempted to avert the strike late last year, has pledged aid to the outer colonies during the strike although the details have yet to be revealed. Meanwhile, Starfleet has responded to the pirate attacks with Operation Safe Harbor, but its effectiveness is inconclusive, with many calling for additional resources to be put into the effort.
