bad move...

for a day or two, sure.

but how does one get from, say, the east end of Scarborough to their job in the financial district or to school out at York U?

without the TTC, you either drive (IF you have a car), find a ride (IF someone lives near you) or cab ($30-40 each way?).

come on...

the TTC *is* essential to this city. If its employees can be prevented from striking without legally deeming it an essential service, that's fine.

(Why are the councillors not exploring that option though?)

this bullshit with TTC strikes, teacher strikes, etc. drives me nuts...and I personally don't even benefit/suffer either way, since I live/work downtown (walk to work) and don't have kids!

I often wonder whether the TTC union actually suffered any consequences for those actions

last i recall the NYC transit union was fined $1 million a day by a district court and the union boss placed under house arrest when they performed a similar action there

because canadians lack balls when it comes to dealing with illegal strikes and such

we've had the essential law thing for mass transit for as long as i can remember... so it seems ontarians lack balls

btw, the essential service thing is only for rush hour periods, not for everything else in between.

mass transit is as essential for rush hours, as firemen during a fire and army when there's a disaster.
