This bus service SUCKED!!! WHO NEEDS IT? Tough it out people, show these losers we don't need them. Let's take control back!!! These guys earn over 50K,some as much as 100K, with no education. Oh full benefits isn't enough, what about overtime? Ya, senior drivers get anywhere from 42 days to 165 in a row so they can pump out the OT - they call this quality family life time. Screw them!! Let's bust this union's ASS

[coolcanuck]

I've taken the bus every day for a decade. Now I drive all of my staff to work. It is soooooooooo much better *and cheaper than the 95 death trap sardine can. Screw you OC, I'll never come back. Who among you will trust your life in the hands of these jerks.

Be strong, meet people, get up earlier, work harder! Let's get rid of these idiots before our new transit system comes into effect. I'm tired of being assaulted at the back of the bus by losers and insulted from the front by rude drivers.

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.

What people don't seem to understand is making them an essential service doesn't mean you make them go back to work without giving them want they want. It means they will get juicy salaries and perks forever and the taxpayers won't have any say over it. Every time any workers get declared an essential service the result is huge expense.

I will never say "thank you" to the OCT drivers again in the future!!

[winterpeger]

Boo Hoo. Who said you'll have service in the future? Suck it up. They have their rights too. Putting up with all the bullshit and having to kiss everyones asses must take its tole.

[MARCELITA23]

they should be an essencial service....

The unions of old were interested in worker safety and in workers being treated fairly. I'm ashamed to see that this particular union has been transformed in to a group of organized extortionists, all organized by a corrupt group of senior drivers. They want to keep rights to scheduling because if they don't it'll ruin the little scheduling scam that they've put so much work in to setting up.

[FriedKitties]

We are The Resistance.

Let's fight against the union.
