Heard that CUPE strikers are giving each other pats on the back and high fives . Unions win, taxpayers lose. It's a zero sum game.buckwheat1 said:Well it looks like the garbage strike is almost over!!!!
Horrible strategy by the City's Administration. They should have hired replacement workers and left the Unions out for more than six months.Omnius said:This one is on Miller's head. If the city backed down and gave up all concessions, and we are no better off than 1 month ago... then Miller is out of office for sure. No way I went through this stank for nothing! Cant wait to hear what was actually agreed to!
Windsor had the right model. Hired private contractors to remove the thrash from the temporary dump every night.addicted2whiskey said:Horrible strategy by the City's Administration. They should have hired replacement workers and left the Unions out for more than six months.
All the strikers seem to be laughing and smiling and (maybe gloating?). Still the highest paid (by a huge margin) garbage collectors in the known world.poonhunter said:btw anyone seen the lone striker (she looks good) at Warden and Metropolitan Rd
Fucking right he doespoonhunter said:that if that is true, Mayor David Miller has some explaining to do.
Wait until you get your next property tax bill.Dewalt said:I love it when things work out well.
What intelligent private sector company would hire him?poonhunter said:he'll most likely have a good private position somewhere.
I don't mind hm being pro-union but his first loyalty has to be to the city as a whole. If he backed down on all the concessions the city sought, he is indeed a poor excuse for a mayor. At the next election, his cronies will need to go too.Frosty said:Oh God. That's a joke. Even though he's not gonna be mayor after the next election. But what's the point, he's still our mayor now. He's gotta go now.
Miller fooled us all. He was always pro-union.
Some universities might actually offer him a professorship . Universities are where LLL's go to die.poonhunter said:also Universities will welcome him as a paid speaker...the usual BS.
There are a huge number of Labour oriented law firms who would be very happy just to have his name on the letterhead.poonhunter said:Most likely some Law Firm he's snuggled up during his tenure, also Universities will welcome him as a paid speaker...the usual BS.
Maybe Mr. Miller can give Mr. Howard Levitt a call .Mrbig1949 said:There are a huge number of Labour oriented law firms who would be very happy just to have his name on the letterhead.
