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.
When the Union decides to implement the operators to their respective positions all customers' should not pay a fare to coincide with each day the strike was in effect. Simply everyone should walk on the bus, say hello, not pay and sit down. Give this watered-down version of organized crime tactics Union a simple taste of what they are doing to this beautiful City of Ottawa.
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!

!st class police constable only needs high school a clean record and pass testing salary $73 000 not including o/t and payed duties easily over 6 figure incomes. Fire fighters only need high school pass all testing and there making 6 figures as well and what about all the government people who only have high school pass entry test and making excellent salaries and do nothing literally.Please people have some respect and support these drivers. SUPPORT DRIVERS!
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
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!
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!
Respect? Respect goes both ways.
