      Unions had their time of need. It's passed by now. There;s no one lazier than a union member with time in.
      Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

              You hit the key word.

              Transit strikes in Toronto never go past a couple days before the province legislates them back to work.

              They need to be deemed an essential service and have the right to strike removed.

                    All of the TAs are grad students. Inform them that the strike violates the terms of their enrollment and the student code then expel all TAs who don't show up.

                      Yes, because destroying the basis for middle class incomes in this country is such a good idea for the economy.

                          Pay and Benefits:

                          The TTC offers competitive wages and benefits including: Healthcare and Dental plans, Group Life Insurance and a Pension Plan. As per the Local 113 ATU Collective Agreement, the hourly wage rate for this opportunity is $20.06 (rate after training) to $26.58 (rate after 30 months).




                          The higher of the two rates is about $55K.

                            Blimey, that is a lot for such a job...although I think workers on London Transport are paid even more than that, although to be fair London is a more expensive place to live.

                                Would you be happier if I used "ridiculous"? Do you actually have some sort of point?
