Teachers and nurses make far more than 26 bucks an hour.
LOL
MY ex was a HS English Teacher in York Region. Last year she brought in 86 grand.
That's about 42 bucks an hour based on a 40 hour work week over 52 weeks or 2080 hours per year, which they never work.
LOL..

No, but from time to time she comes by, we order sushi in and fuck. She loves when I come on her face and then use the head of my cock to push the come into her mouth while she is quoting Shakespeare.

The TTC workers should get down on their knees and thank God that they don't have to compete with the Japanese, Chinese, Indians, etc. They live in a fantasy world of inflated salaries, job security and benefits.

Please note that teachers are at risk of getting shot (school shootings) so maybe part of the $86K is for danger pay. I have a friend who is married to a teacher and I keep telling him he won the lottery because teacher's pension plan is worth about $5MM. They can retire at 53 with full inflation indexed pensions and they normally live to age 97 or longer. In fact some of them collect more years on pension than on active service.

How about putting the job of operating the TTC up for bid? The transit union could bid against others. Who ever agrees to operate it the cheapest gets to do it. Services levels would be part of the contract.
That way the TTC's operating costs would be contained. If the union won the bid, they can divvy up the money however they choose.
Pay them the same rates as a cashier in a grocery or department store. It seems like a similar skill set - I'm sure all the cashiers would jump at a chance to make $26/hour. Even if the TTC ticket taker salary is overstated, I'm sure it is AT LEAST 50% more than a cashier at a grocery or department store and those poor people have to bag.
If not for the TTC union, there is no way in hell TTC ticket takers would make much more than $12 an hour.
And people wonder why the TTC is always looking for government handouts. If transit was run like a business, the ticket taker position would be paid much worse, or likely eliminated and replaced by kiosks as another poster pointed out.

Perhaps its time to look at making the TTC an essential service ( Grabage collection as well). Strikes are not just inconvenient for management and owners. Unlike the threat of a companies profit loss, they
affect the general population with far reaching economic, public saftey and health consequences. I would applaud any MPP that had the balls to introduce such legislation

I noticed the other day one of those "TTC police cars" the ones that have the TTC logo on the side and that attends whenever there is an accident involving a TTC vehicle or when a TTC vehicle breaks down. The car was a Dodge Charger, what caught my eye was that the Charger had dual exhaust (one pipe on each side of the car), after checking the Dodge website I came to the conclusion that the model with "dual exhaust" is the R/T model with 350 hp and that cost $10 000 more than the base model with a smaller engine. My question is why do TTC management have to drive such a big car ? They could be driving smaller 4 cylinder cars couldn't they ?? Another example of wasting money by the TTC.
