Taped:  02/10/2006.  The recent NYC transit strike raised all sorts of questions about pay scales, retirement and health care benefits and whether certain employees even have the right to strike. But behind that specific dispute lies a much larger and to Sara Bartlett's mind a more significant question, "Why didn't the City of New York have a seat at the bargaining table?" The subways and buses, after all, are our most vital assets. Yet our elected officials have not real say in how they are managed. Henry Stern from the New York Civic addresses these issues.  U$A Inc, currently not running on CUNY TV, offered a unique opportunity for senior members of the business community to share their thoughts on important business issues with a broad-based New York audience. While many business shows today seem focused on generating sound bites and tend to treat business as if it were a blood sport, U$A Inc allows for deeper discussion of the complex philosophical and ethical issues arising almost daily in the business world.  Host: Sarah Bartlett, Bloomberg Chair in Business Journalism at the Master's Program in Business Journalism at Baruch College.  Watch more at www.tv.cuny.edu/series/usainc
