  • He died?

  • Glad this asshole is dead.

  • @ElectroCanadian did he die? The most ignorant, abominable lowlife to ever crawl out of someone's hairy asshole society is better off - although that doesn't say much about the drivers that voted him

  • Cornholer is a fucking faggot and disgrace of a human being.

  • All of them... they are all corrupt.. the city, the union 'leaders'.. it's funny how first it was 'we can't force them back to work and end the strike..our hands are tied'.. then suddenly when they realized that Obama was coming to visit and the city would look like such a piece of shit to the world, suddenly they were able to arbitrarily send them all back to work. Good thing they declared them an essential service now...

  • This guy is a fanook. His daughter emailed CFRA trying to convince people not to be so hard on him. This genious even made life hard for his family. He looks the way he acts. Ignorant!

  • i remember like two weeks after the bus strike ended this asshole came into my work tryed to use a coupon for something that it wasnt made for and i told him not possible so he starts freaking out yelling at me calling me an asshole saying im shitty supervisor i was working at a bk at the time then he says he provieds me with a survices so i tell him well maybe you shouldnt of been on strike for 53 days now everytime he see me he drives right by me

  • I haven't taken a bus since the December strike and I don't plan on going back to it.

  • So the strike is over! Now the fares are to increase AGAIN and just for fun and to try to save 3 million because the fare increase was not enough they are cutting and/or reducing 47-50 bus routes in the next few days or weeks! WAYtoGETridersBACK Its not our fault that the city and King Larry can screw with you! Luckily (thanks to the strike) I realize I can walk to work and any place I need to go in under an hour! I bet I am not the only person still walking either. AND guess what? NOT THE LAST!

  • looks like a he missed his 4 o'clock breast feeding BIG BABY

  • douchebag haha

  • Jesus, I'm not even Canadian and this guy pisses me off.

  • Fuck oc transpo drivers. I wish I could shit on their faces. Especially this douchebag.

  • The truth is he is right. Drivers should be able to pick their runs going by senority.

  • The douchebag that won't quit.

    Now there is talk of work to rule.

    UNFU*KINGBELIEVABLE.

  • it would be funny if somebody from the background just chucked like a mcdonalds cup at him right there or something

  • what a fucking tool. i hope he gets hit buy a buss

  • LOL, it could easily happen. Some OC Transpo drivers are decent but a lot are pathetic. I recently saw one talking away to this physically disabled, very obviously intelligent adult like he was a 2 year old. The passenger was mature and polite and just wanted the driver to shut up and watch the road but the driver kept talking to him like he was a baby instead of watching what he was doing. It was snowing out.

  • "why not?"

    "why?"

    such a complete failure just die

  • His stilted monosyllabic speech is a disgrace to the English language. While I would agree that transit employees deserve a fair shake, some of them are making more than airline pilots for Christ's sake! I've held an Alberta bus driving license in good standing for over ten years, and while I haven't used it in quite some time, I would be happy to drive a bus in Ottawa for half of what these guys are gouging the public for.

  • useless

  • I don't know about you guys, but when I am forced to step for the first time in a long time back onto an OC Transpo bus, and the bus driver says good morning or w/e he says, Ill just say "stuff it up your ass and give me my 400 dollars back"

  • LOL, did he say that he is sorry? I don't think he understands the complexity of the situation. He is just dumb

  • I bet this guy is not feeling the heat, he might have been paid during the whole period of the strike. He is a joke, they need a better negotiator.

  • hes probably being fucked up the ass as we speak. and loving it.

  • idiot

  • what a mother fuckin asshole!

    by far the most ignorant piece of shit i have ever seen in my life!

    hope his life becomes hell!

    dickhead

  • Lol- I'll bet big money his first word as a child was "No"

  • What a fucking asshole.

  • just wanted to say this "you suck!" :P if id been you i would of taken the offer and now you got nothing but loss of reputation. you stupid bastard cocksucking douchebag

  • These fuckers were in a legal strike position in March 2008. They decided to go on strike just before Christmas. The City should have grabbed some balls and shut OCTranspo down altogether. Sell it to some private company.

  • so you got arbitration, congratulations that was your goal. you won the battle, but at a price. this strike exposed the arrogance of ATU 279 and the little country club you had going,

    the public (you've heard of them, the ones who pay your salary) will now lobby and apply pressure to declare transit an essential service in conjunction to reforming the scheduling.

    you had a good thing going guys, should have been more subtle, you screwed up. short term gain, long term pain.

  • Fucker, it was HIS fault for going on strike when people already lost jobs from the economic situation, and why the fuck go on strike during winter where the buses now need repairs?

    Someone needs to punch this fucker in the face!

  • motherfucker

  • i know the bus strike is over now but the strike fucked up my holiday! i don't think they should be complaining they get paid like $60 an hour or something, only having a high school education, to sit on there ass all day. and i hope they notice that due to this strike they won't be getting a lot of respect from people anymore

  • as far as I'm concerned, these guys have a cushy job - they sit on their asses all day, follow a gps, and collect their 20+$ while university and college students, as wells as city workers, are wasting $50/day on taxi. Rotten eggs and poop bags for these failures to society

  • This arrogant prick is gonna get what he deserves in life...

  • fucking ass whole.. the bus strike is over but he better not be a fucking bus driver..

  • This guy is a fucking idiot. Giving one word answers just shows how fucking stupid he is. Fucking OC transpo fucks. Everyone should just break the glass bus shelters.

  • These dumb fuck drivers re all gonna get some serious shit treatment from my buddies and I. Just need to think of some way to get back at the other ATU sacks o' shit...

  • Somebody smack that piece o' shit...

  • Does this guy still even drive a bus in ottawa?

  • He's a fucking dumbass...

    He has no idea what the fuck he's talking about...

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! this man sickens me. I cant belive that this person runs anything. I'll push a hot dog stand in -30 degrees for what the bus drivers make an hour. I dont live in ottawa but I use the buses to get from college to work downtown. I'm busting my balls to make a living and this twerp has the gall to take this kind of action. They should have fired the lot of them.

  • Fuck you oc transpo, payed 60 god damn dollars for nothing, Fuck you and suck my balls, and this blind guy has to walk cause your to fucking fat and not doing any god damn work so SUCK MA BALL YOU FAG

  • Comment removed

  • How was this flagrant idiot declared president of anything? He lacks human emotion; he doesn't portray himself to be well educated, and given 60% of the city wants to brutally murder OC transpo workers, he should atleast make somewhat of an effort to show the city that they are the good guys. But then again he is a flagrant idiot. Ottawa is doomed with vacant bus shelters, cab fares, and lots and lots of walking

  • He is really an asshole and should br running a lemonaid stand.

  • When transit service resumes, I urge every Ottawan to climb on board an OC Transpo bus free of charge. When the bus shows up at your stop, get on, grab a seat and ignore the driver.

    Union members are living on a cloud, thinking that they have a right to do what they are doing. What they don't have a right to do is make life miserable for us.

    So again, when transit resumes, ignore their authority...

    Don't worry bus drivers, you'll be paid back in full for your selfish conduct....

  • word today is the federal government will be ordering these guys back to work, they would have accomplished nothing except damage public relations. I will kind of feel sorry for the drivers considering the abuse they will have to endure when they come back.

  • Who in the fuck would ever support this douche bag?? People's lives are all fucked up because of him and all he can say is "NO, NO". Someone please assassinate this motherfucker. Or at least go destroy his fuckin car so he cant go anywhere. Then he'll know how it feels. They complain about their job but for the amount of education needed to be a driver is very minimal (high school degree) and they get paid VERY well. If u want a better job get a better education. Until then DONT FUCKIN COMPLAIN!

  • A news today tells a story of a poor 60 years lady. She need to walk 12 hours per day between Carling/Bronson and Barrhaven in order to save her job. André Cornellier and stupid bus drivers I hope you ALL Fucking DIE so this poor lady can survive to live!

  • thanks god i live and work in quebec :)

  • André Cornellier and bus drivers go and FUCK yourself!

  • I wish André Cornellier and all members of the ATU 279 the worst year possible. Looking forward to treat you all like shit when the system gets back online. You screw with us, we'll screw with you. You picket and block people from moving about, yet those people you block are the very transit users you're trying to gain support from. If most members aren't happy with the president, take action don't wait. All members who dont rise against the Union heads are no better than the bosses.Wake up.

  • Well spoken.

  • Part of the agreement should include a provision where once a month there is a "Fart on Andre Day".

  • This guy's a massive selfish dick face

    Fo sho...

  • "NO" "NO" BLABLABLA! He should go stick a Cucumber up his ass that fuckin bitch. And yes its about money! I think the government should train new drivers instead of these pieces of shit! What does he mean they should choose their routes, ottawa is tiny, or they just wanna work right next to their houses those fuckin bitches. I wanna punch his fuckin dick face that mutafucker! He should suck my dick!

  • Fucking pricks, excuse my language but this guy is an asshole. Ottawa population: 890,000. People who use OC transpo on a daily basis: 360,000. The city is in a standstill, students are royally fucked, lower class workers can't get to thier jobs. Those in need of medication can't get any, and now ther apears to be no end to this as the federal mediator has left as he saw no sign that there was going to be any negotiation.

  • oc drivers are all a-holes in ottawa

  • he has a lisps.

    what a jackass

  • Ok, so let's see: the Capital city of Canada is being held hostage by the will of one uneducated moron who likes the way "NO" sounds ... this is beyond absurd!

  • Okay, wait, this guy was elected? Seriously??

  • I can almost understand being arrogant when you're intelligent and articulate, but being arrogant when you're a total MORON??? ... Andre LeCon, or whatever your name is, you are a DISGRACE!

  • Wow this is quite amazing, I think my speeches in grade school were more articulate. You can tell that he has not used his brain for quite some time. It is very unfortunate when someone like that has any sort of power. He doesn't even have the savvy to say something intelligent when the interviewer challenges him - he just gets defensive. SO sad.

  • If I were a bus driver, I would be quite ashamed to be represented by this douchebag.

  • BREAKING NEWS (Friday afternoon)

    The union is now demanding MORE! The two sides are now FARTHER apart! The union is now making ADDITIONAL demands!

  • Make Oc Transpo an Essential Service. This was Transpo does not hold Ottawa hostage again. This strike is totally Pathetic. Respect & Dignity they say hahaha, What about respect & dignity for the customer?

    And the hell with thier flexitime this is the real world , Ordinary People never get flexitime. If bus drivers dont wish to work lets fire them, And find People who want to work. As for the pay Bus Drivers salary is excellent. In fact I think they are overpaid for sitting on thier ass.

  • When buses return, I suggest everyone hurl the same abuses at bus drivers they have been hurling at us every day when trying to get to work through picket lines. It's your right to say what you please. Speak your mind to these idiots and maybe they'll quit.

  • andre cornellier is a FUCKING RETARD.

  • This dude makes Sarah Palin look like a genius!

  • This guy is a fucking snarky shithead and I'd gladly put my fist in his face.

  • wow, not only is he an asshole, but a moron, too.

  • It's time for the people of Ottawa to Rise Up and Revolt!! Mon Jan 26th 2008 Parlament Hill

  • do you mean 2009?

  • This guy wants to talk about striking how about I go out there and strike your ugly face with a baseball bat you dirty french mother fucker. People can't even get to school or work and those assholes are just smilling and drinking coffee outside in the snow like they are enjoying it. Well you know the whole Ottawa residents lost respect for you sons of bitches and watch the day you will be back to work how rude we gonna be with yopu fuckers. This strike has to end immediately.

  • Some of the bus drivers make like 50-70 thousand a year to drive a fuckin bus. No education needed, no special skills, no real training. Are you serious!? Im at University and I wont be making that kind of money for many years. I might as well just drop out and start boozing and smoking drugs all day. Id be well on my way to making 60,000 a year as a bus driver. Fuck!

  • actually I have heard reports of 100thou a year

  • What a cunt!!! I cant even get to fuckin school for less than 20 bucks, have to stay at a friends and sleep on his couch 4 days a week and still spend 80 bucks a week on taxis...like wtf! they have to be legislated back to work...this is ridiculous

  • Ur a fuckin pussy imma kno where U live imma break U rooms window.

  • what a dick

  • He should be aborted

  • many people would love the opportunity to make as much as even the lowest paid bus drivers (ive heard minimum 30,000 a year?). but i guess striking for scheduling issues is fair, and putting tens of thousands of people out of transportation is also fair. this is the fault of poor city planning as well as people who dont know how good they have it. lets be honest, when it all boils down to it, you are lucky you are even bus drivers,further more you are lucky you have jobs and should appreciate it

  • This video is amazing proof of the quality of people striking.

    I support striking, i also support getting what you want.

    however, the greater good is the issue here. An established city such as ottawa has the infrastructure of a bus system for a reason. the gentle men and women striking are clearly in no position to see this, and refuse to see the effects of their efforts. furthermore, the refuse, and are completely blinded to, the blessing that is their job. (continued above...)

  • A strike is supposed to generate public support to there cause. Unfortunately, this strike has caused the city to turn on the bus drivers due to there actions. On the news on CTV last night, there is a reported 50% increase in traffic accidents from January 1st to 18th. They state its a matter of time before people are found dead in there homes due to this strike! I wonder how many innocent people will be hurt, or even die because of the recklessness of this strike. Legal or not.

  • RAAAAAAAAAGE

    What a fucking piece of work he is.

  • This is the brightest, most well-spoken man the union could come up with?

  • actually this man is the President of the union

  • Thank you Sherlock!

  • ehy mister intelligence,

    it's not about money, eh?! but about respect, eh?!... if it was just about respect, I think that after a 40-day strike you and the bus strikers have lost any kind respect!!!

    you guys are ridicolous!

  • who cares any more LOL

  • Fuk you Cornelier! you graduated from junior high or something? you lil fukin retard, because of you many workers with minimum wage cant even get to work. Why the fuck are you even bitchin?! the city pays you way more than enough for you and your illiterate cunts wtf makes you high school graduates so fukin special that you even fukin threaten students who simply cant afford taxi everyday?? talk about respect, for your ugliness or your stupidity?!?! grow up jerk!

  • This guy is a fucking jackass he doesn't see how the population is affected by the strike and people can even get to work or school. If people can't get to work or school, the only mother fuckers who should be blamed is this fucking union. Shame on all of you and ur union and stupid GVT because no one has the balls to say anything in this country to push those assholes to get back to work. LET'S GO U BUNCH OF FAGS END THIS FUCKING STRIKE BECAUSE IT'S REALLY DRIVING ME NUTS!

  • Yo shit man, Andre dawg, I thought you were my dawg man, member the days we used to tote guns and shoot dice dawg? Member dat shit? We totally got all the hunnies and shit and got drunk and high ever day dawg. Now look at you. No more burners, no more bitches, and you fuckin up my only mode of transportation dawg. You even got Hitler all pissed off and shit. No one who speaks German did anything evil to anything. Since we go way back man Ima restrain my self ya digg? Not fuck yo shit up ummhmm.

  • How did Cornellier ever get elected? Is this a testament to how educated the OC Transpo drivers are? I mean really. This is silly. Get back to work you giant bunch of lazy good for nothings and get me to work!

  • Make Oc Transpo an Essential Service. This was Transpo does not hold Ottawa hostage again. This strike is totally Pathetic. Respect & Dignity they say hahaha, What about respect & dignity for the customer?

    And the hell with thier flexitime this is the real world , Ordinary People never get flexitime. If bus drivers dont wish to work lets fire them, And find People who want to work. As for the pay Bus Drivers salary is excellent. In fact I think they are overpaid for sitting on thier ass.

  • The Federal Goverment can & Should intervene. Lets Lobby Pariliment to make OC Transpo an Essential Service. If not let the Goverment set up a new esential Bus Service. Do whatever it takes to have an Essential Bus Service either run by Transpo or by a new bus service.

  • Lets Make OC Transpo Bus Service in Ottawa an Essential Service Now. This Strike is Retarded. Fuck the Union.

  • what a jerk. I feel sorry for him. I can't believe how rude he is.

  • veerbros you probably are Andre lol either that or some sick twisted F&*K!

  • What a clown. Give him heck Carol Ann!!! Get these lazy bums back to work!

  • This piece of shit needs a fucking beating...selfish prick.

  • Andre vote No and stick to it Great job Andre. I have yet to see somebody come to the picketlines. Fuck the public there all talk.

  • Only time to let the people who need the bus to freeze in the cold. Way to hold the city hostage you terrorist.

  • 613-233-3721: ANDRE CORNELLIER

  • When the bussess eventually get back on the road, I am not paying for exactly how many days the strike lasted. The bus shall be free for me because I am a customer on strike (from paying)

  • ahahha congrats, your union president is the biggest moron in the province

  • FUCK YOU, YOU FRENCH FAGGIT!!!

  • veerbros I don;t think u realize how you will be affected when this is all over.Yes you will be driving the speed limit because you will be in your car looking for a job.Nobody can stand you bastards. So give your head a shake and wake up!!!

  • they complain about violence to oc drivers what do they think thins is going to do when they come back? make more towards them. fuck ur families u guys make enough money just stop wasteing it on fast food u fat fucks

  • what a bit ch have fun with the graff comeing.. ur retard. who picks their schedual anyways???? u should be happy u even get to pick it every 3 months

    peace bishhhhhh

  • Fuck You Andre somebodys gonna beat your ass one day. Rot in Hell.

  • I second that. What an idiot.

  • How many people honestly like their work or their shifts? I had understanding for OC Transpo workers when this thing began. But the more I see how much people are suffering because of this strike, especially low-income and disabled people, because they do not have sufficient income to afford taxi service during this horrible winter, the more I am beginning to question the goals of this strike. They've gotten a good offer from the city and it's time to go back to work.

  • I'm sorry, but the 2500 striking workers are essentially saying that they consider themselves and their families, jobs to be more important than the families and jobs of the approximately 250, 000(?) people who need the bus daily. I think that's a bunch of bullshit. They are NOT more important and their union head needs to realise that, fast.

  • Everybody here is thinking about themselves and i don't care when they go back cause expect busses to follow the speed limit and i hope the mechanics don't forget to fix the bus properly. This is not over even when they get back to work. They'll make people suffer and get paid aswell.

  • Did you mean 'don't' expect them to follow the speed limit? I don't about you but them following the speed limit isn't a bad idea, especially when some of them don't wait for an elderly person to have a seat and then they accelerate like crazy, causing the person (sometimes it's not even just the elderly) to fall down. So what if they can make people suffer? Once they're back to work we can make them suffer too. They just don't seem to have realized that yet. :)

  • No I expect them to follow the speed limit, wait for people to sit and accelerate slowly whick effects scheduling time and people won't be able to make connections and it cost more because the driver gets paid by the minute not the load. what do you think the public could do about that?

  • Again, your grammar is really confusing me, especially since you're arguing about something unrelated to my original comment. (btw, the bus strike doesn't really affect me, I live in residence at my university- I just care about the hundreds of thousands of people that it does affect- which means your original first sentence is untrue) You sound like a pessimist. I would be perfectly willing to wait an extra 10 min. if it meant that an elderly person wasn't going to hurt themselves from falling.

  • In all honesty it sounds like you are the one who doesn't care about others-but it might just be that I can't understand you. Are you being sarcastic? I honestly can't tell. (I'm not being sarcastic, btw) I mean, the bus service in this city was never perfect to begin with so lots of people missed connections anyways- why not let it be for a compassionate reason instead of a selfish one?

  • Strikers threaten to target ParaTranspo, student shuttles.

    Well done Octranspo! But what do you think Citizens will do to you when you back to work?

    RESPECT???????? ROFL!!!!

    Prepare to get fucked

  • Karma

  • I am surprised to see that someone still believe those ugliest animals could take care of poor disabled people.

  • I heard on the news tonight that the union is planning to picket Para Transpo. This is the last fucking straw, my sister uses Para Transpo evryday, and if I ever see drivers or unions members disrupting this service, I'll kick there fucking heads in, I'm fed up. You don't fuck with the diasabled.

  • "Nope..."

    Thanks for the insight.

  • This "man" makes me sick. I want to vomit. He should crawl back into what ever shithole he came out of.

  • Andre corneille is French-Canadian. Fuck them!

    sTUPID CLOSE mind

  • wow she sounds like she wants to slap him

    he deserves it

  • This guy is a douche! End of story. He shouldn't be in the position he's in. He can barely express himself, and refuses to even elaborate on his story. Nope Nope. Piss off you stupid shit!

  • corniler is a CUNT

  • The Federal Goverment can & Should intervene. Lets Lobby Pariliment to make OC Transpo an Essential Service. If not let the Goverment set up a new esential Bus Service. Do whatever it takes to have an Essential Bus Service either run by Transpo or by a new bus service.

  • fuck oc transpo

  • oh, it's about respect? does this fat bastard think anyone is going to respect oc transpo now? fuck your respect.

  • It's sad to see in today's society you can go on you tube and make suggestion violence and murder against someone.

  • Headline in the Ottawa Citizen the day BEFORE the bus strike ends: OC transpo Union president Shoot IN THE HEAD on street!!!!

  • HAHAHAHA we can only hope.

  • Headline in the Ottawa Sun the day AFTER the bus strike ends: 27 BUS DRIVERS PUNCHED IN THE HEAD!!!!

  • Only 27? I dont even require the use of the bus (I live a block from work and have a car) but I am still considering getting on a bus to tell off a driver.

  • when transit resumes I urge every one who has a bus bus to get on the bus and not show your pass. Just walk on, grab a seat and go. Ignore their requests as they have ignored us.

  • "No"

    "No"

    Intelligent response.

  • Make Oc Transpo an Essential Service. This was Transpo does not hold Ottawa hostage again. This strike is totally Pathetic. Respect & Dignity they say hahaha, What about respect & dignity for the customer?

    And the hell with thier flexitime this is the real world , Ordinary People never get flexitime. If bus drivers dont wish to work lets fire them, And find People who want to work. As for the pay Bus Drivers salary is excellent. In fact I think they are overpaid for sitting on thier ass.

  • they actually can't do that. because oc transpo runs between two different provinces, making it an essential service is officially considered a federal issue.

  • hope someone brings another shotgun to there workplace

  • what a fucking ass hole fuck im some one should shoot him

  • assclown motherfucking faggotfat fucking brainless cocksucking piece of dogshit!!!!!!!!! you and anyone thathas anything to do with should rot in hell fuck you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • fuck u!!!!!!!!!

  • Just wait....Just fucking wait u fucking cunts!!!!!!!! Your all gonna get whats coming to you!!!!

  • you are a fucking douche bag and i hope all you drivers get whats coming to you when you guys GO back to work. cant wait to shake the hand of the first to kick a buss drivers ass!!!

    drivers and mechanics : GO FUCK YOUR SELFS

  • He is such a DOUCHE!!!!!! Contract it out to someone else who isn't going to bitch about privileges most Canadians don't have!!!!!! DOUCHE!!!!!!

  • He said FUCK in broadcasted interview???

    He sounds so dumb!!

  • this guy is a shill for the senior drivers, break up that clik that is running this union. look its shift work, its not for everybody, don't like it, then go sell shoes

  • Pull a Regan! Fire the lot. Unions are nothing but a drain on society, money, and time.

  • It's sad to think City Councilors are not standing up to MAYOR OBRIAN WHAT A BUNCH OF CHICKENS

  • The octranspo and Union are RAPING the public, the Citizens are hostages in the cold winter. And, Citizens need to pay more tax in order to get those fucks back to work.

    Nice job OC!

  • what a moron..now..Jan 10th..they gave it to the drivers and they voted NO by over 70%. I say "Fire" them all and give the jobs to the "Soccer Moms"..who drive people around all day..every day..for free. This prick needs a reality check...as do the OC Transpo drivers...we all drive.....they get paid a lot to do it.

  • nope. nope .nope what a typical union dope.

    tough... bus driving is split shifts suck it up brother.

  • What a twat he is!

  • the union head wants all the money for himself. He doesn't care about anything else.He is a asshole.

  • *sigh* someone needs to kick him in the no-no area :]

  • All drivers should blow their horns in protest when passing by any road block. This will show them how we feel.

  • 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.

  • They went to strike because of a scheduling problem. The senior drivers went on strike because the young drivers were getting split shifts, working up to 12+ hours shift while the senior drivers were getting the best shifts. When OC transpo decided that they couldn't allow it, this was a breach in contract, so the senior drivers went on strike because the union is a greedy bastard.

  • Actually, looking into this, it sounds like the drivers are getting a pretty raw deal. If they have to work 13.5 hours a day, but are only being paid for 8 because of split-shifts... The drivers have a fairly legitimate complaint.

  • That's what the city was trying to fix. Too much overtime was flying around and new people were getting incredibly shitty dangerous shifts (like working late nights, 4 hours of sleep, then a morning shift)

    The union however, being as all the heads are senior members, didn't want this change because it would screw their little thing they have where they can plan maximum pay and minimum time worked.

    Honestly... Name another city were bus driver have the potential to earn over 100k.

  • This dude should give seminars on public speaking.

  • You fucking douchebag, get fucked you shithead fuckwit, fuck you to hell.

  • he really doesint give a fuck ..omg i didint even get ma christmas present cuz of these fuckin faggits... and its stupid how they say "its respect" cuz after all that octranspo lost respect by every single person in ottawa that usally takes tha bus . fuck yall oc dick heads

  • no lol

  • 106 years eh? Somehow I don't think that's entirely factual.

  • this guy is a huge douchebag

  • we're in a recession and the drivers want more benefits? good timing.

    unions were awesome back when women had no rights and children were being forced to work. nowadays they cause all this conflict just to remind us that they're still around.

    the government is not going to give them a better offer so they'd better get back to work or deal with being replaced. respect? ottawa NEEDS public transit. lead by example and service the city. don't like it? get another job, transportation is ESSENTIAL

  • FFFFFUUUUUUUUUU-
