The press really shows nice new buses in that picture. They don't show the buses from the 1950's and 1960's also in service.

I have had it with ppl complaining about not making enough money...benifits ect ect
If you dont like your job get another
In 2007 I worked harder than ever to make the same money as the year before.
If the traffic gets too bad I will ride my bike or walk
my 2 cents

If Ronald Reagan was Canada's leader he break the union and hire replacement workers but Canada doesn't seem that far right-yet.
Hopefully those PTSD sluggos at the TTC will suffer for this, but i doubt it.
Maybe we could hire Lady Thatcher to take care of them. Ask the freakin miners how she negotiates.

to show them what they would missing if they went on strike.

Heard the union boss explaining the salary demands the other day...compared to bus drivers in other cities, only 1-2% difference. However, he says, the real comparison is the contract dump truck drivers and snow plow operators for the city. Compared to these CONTRACT workers TTC drivers are about 20 to 30% behind! We should be higher cause we drive people, they just drive snow and rocks etc.!!!!
He doesn't seem to acknowledge the difference between contract work and salary work with benefits and security and health plans and pensions etc. Funniest damn thing.
City should open up the parking lots and give up on ticketing at meters and hunker down for the long haul...but then again, I'm not a union man

The strike is going to be a pain in the butt for me but I'm curious about one of the union demands...they want full pay for days that they got injured on the job?
Why is that even a demand? Shouldn't it have been given already? If I got injured on the job, for sure I'd want full pay, not reduced pay.

Rules are governed by Workman's Compensation in this Province. Most companies supplement this with some kind of short or long-term disability but it rarely equals full working wages. I agree with you in principal but you'd be surprised at the can of worm's you open up by not providing an incentive to get better. This would be like giving the union the key to the city vault.wetnose said:
All of a sudden everyone has a sore neck or carpel tunnel or whatever soft tissue injury they can make up. Hell we have that kind of abuse now under the current system. I'd agree to it for certain kinds of injuries but not for muscle strains or mental stress and all the other bullshit claims.
So you don't get full wage when you're injured at work...don't tell me you didn't know that before taking the job.
I heard some people saying driving a bus is a dangerous job. So it's working at a Coffee Time at 1am in the morning in a less than reputable neighbourhood, but they get minimum wage and I doubt any benefits.
Again, not happy with your job? Get another one.

And you're blaming the union for that? Sounds like your stepfather's the real problem.antifuse said:
Unions like the TTC think that they can always get what they want, and will hold all the riders hostage now to force the city's hand. Bunch of M/F. Don't tell me about Unions, I spent 12.5 years in Teamsters, all they do is protect the shit disturbers....and it's okay if a guy goes off work for 6 months because of a sliver in his finger, and meanwhile drives taxi on the side
I say vote with your fists everytime you get on a bus between now and Sunday night punch the TTC driver in the head... tell him while the rest are on strike he can be on disabilityand get 75% of his wages..fuck them I hate labour.....

Do the people that have to walk to work on Monday have a choice? These stupid fucks are holding the city hostage, they wouldn't do shit to help you, I say give their over-paid ass's a nice beat down and they can stick it right up their kinnier.......wetnose said:

Maybe it's time the public struck against the union. Picket their pickets, don't let them go home when they want to. Picket the negotiation site, and nobody - union or managment - leaves until they settle it. They incovenience us, we inconvenience them.
