The TTC Union has set a deadline of 4pm Sunday for a deal to be struck; if the deadline is not met the Union plans to strike--that is, cancel all TTC services--starting the following morning @ 4am.
TTC Union boss Bob Kinnear has laid out the terms of avoiding a TTC strike: land a deal by 4pm Sunday or his members will walk off the job at 4am Monday. A disruption would shut down all buses, streetcars and subway cars for 1.5 million riders.
He's pleading with Mayor David Miller to get involved to avoid a crippling walkout, and admits "most of the public won't be on our side."
Check back soon for updates.

I feel bad for all the people who are going to suffer because of some people couldnt come to an agreement due to their greed.(Both sides are at fault equally).

I have an exam Monday morning.
There is no way I am willing to bike the 15KM to school for my exam.

Most of the public?
Anyone want to help me start a lynch mob?
