  • Respect? Respect goes both ways.

    Scheduling? PLEASE! This scheduling allows for SENIOR drivers to work IN EXCESS of 150 days without a day off! IS THAT SAFE? And to work 22 hrs STRAIGHT?!

    Isn't it more about a union wanting this service to be declared essential?

    THAT"S the real reason for the strike!

    Make it essential and all the union has to do is THREATEN a strike - at which point a federal mediator comes in from somewhere in Quebec and gives the union what it wants - no questions asked.

  • Way 2 pass the buck Dalton you ass sack!

  • On August 3, 1981 nearly 13,000 of the 17,500 members of the Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization (PATCO) walked off the job, hoping to disrupt the nation's capital transportation system to the extent that the federal government would accede to its demands for higher wages, a shorter work week, and better retirement benefits. So Ronald Reagan fired! Them all. the city of Ottawa should do the same thing .I dont know what in hell is the city waiting for. PEACE!

  • R u fucking kidding me? The firefighters and Police r essential service personal, not to mention they literally risk their lives to protect the society. U r comparing these brave men to the people that sit in a seat and drive a bus around? Get bent. I was at the baseline park and drive, (for my exam), these bastards delayed STUDENTS from writing their exams. I MEAN STUDENTS WTH. These guys r nothing but a NUISANCE, & they won't get a single drop of support from me or the public.

  • I figure the busses should be essential services at rush hours. Strike at off peak hours. But andre cornhole is taking this personaly. DO NOT SUPPORT THE OC TRANSPO EMPLOYEES!

  • No support for drivers. No respect. No dignity. If they went on strike long before the holidays or after, then public support would have been in their favor. It was their worst mistake going on strike before X-mas. They dug their own hole in the ground. No apology will be accepted by the people of Ottawa. These drivers will live with the shame and guilt of betraying the people of Ottawa with their greed.

  • this particular strike will make people hate you guys even more you guys will have no dignity left when this over people will look down at you and you guys brought this on with your idiot union

  • its all about selfish people

    the workers get paid a lot of money and have more then enough sick days, more money then people that have a higher education then them. if they had post secondary education id be on their side, but they didnt work as a student and go through the bull shit for this jib

  • Don't Go Back To Work Until You Get What You Want!!!! Don't Do It! It's The Right Time To Strike. People Don't Care About You Guys So Do What You Have To DO I'm With You Even If At The Same Time I'm Mad Cause It's Cold Down Here.

    I Won't Lie This Thing Have Me Freezing Walking But If It's For A Good Cause They Can Strike As Long As They Wish!

  • Your an idiot and likly a busdriver, these guys make much more money than most of the people in this city, now they want more !!

    Fire them all !! I'll walk for months if it means giving the jobs to greatful people, I'd even drive a bus for free to be rid of them all.

  • Way to go! Man, these drivers DON'T have a heart! They're like an army of Scrooge! Have a heart folks!!! It's christmas times! Enough cancer patients dying, exams stress for university students! If I see this non-educated little brat called Cornelier down in the corner of the street, I'm gonna say it's time to take my sharp knife from the 4th drawer and give it a second function, aside cutting food!

  • Andre Cornelier, President ATU Local 279: (613) 738-3177 Ext.227 call and give him grief!

  • i hate octranspo i couldnt go to school for 2 days
