Ridiculous. They definately do not need to be making any more money.
Unions = Bad News |

Count me in as part of your mob.
Hell, I'd love to see them break the union completely by firing their worthless asses, all of them, and them hiring them back one by one. Now there's a transit disruption that I'd get onside with. Anything to end these pigs constant strangle hold on the public. I personally know a TTC driver who doesn't work more than 2 months out of the year & then uses up sick days and vacation days for pay, gets fired, gets in the union involved, gets re-hired, and continues to collect his paycheque. He generally repeats this cycle every year!
Any other job & he'd be unemployed in a heartbeat.
Enough is enough already. |

That's why they let you know ahead of time, that way you can try and find an alternative to get where you are going. So never say you didn't have time to find another ride. |
yep, i already got my arrangements for alternate transportation pretty much made. Its funny how there's quite a number of Ryerson students who think our exam dates will be shifted because of the strike. :haha: even after sending us two emails that they'll continue as scheduled. |

u sound pissed just b/c u ride the TTC. everyone deservers a good living wage, we need unions to stand up for workers rights. they are not demanding outrageous demands. they are going on strike b/c the city refuses to pay workers when they need to take time off due to on the job injuries like ******s causing on buses and stabbing a driver.
they should go on strike to get their point across. the city needs to stop dicking around and give them what they want, if u cant afford it, find a way, stop wasting our hard earned tax money on stupid and maybe the city wouldnt be so broke, stop giving urselves a raise.
if u have a problem with this, then stand up for the workers and the union and if the ppl are on their side, the city will cave. |

Unions had their time...and served their purpose. That time has now come and gone. Nowadays, unions are a negative force where it once used to be a positive one.
What gets to me most is that there are some hard working TTC workers who deserve all the benefits that they are fighting for, but then there are a ton of other pieces of $#%% that not only give them a bad name, but take advantage of everything that their fighting for.
Either way, I live downtown and am lucky that I can walk to and from work. Sure it's inconvenient, but this may end up being a blessing in disguise for me...since it might be the start of a new workout regime :) |

I'm lucky in that my company allows us access to work remotely (from home) - and I could pretty much do all my job tasks from home on a permanent basis. But on the other hand, I don't know how this would impact our home Internet bandwidth :( |

exactly. If they have even a million to contribute to a "renovation" project than they have no reason for the TTC workers to strike with that kind of money. |
