On January 12, 2012 the City of Toronto Negotiations Commitee requested a NO BOARD report be issued by the Ministry of Labour Conciliator. This sets up the lockout of Toronto City Outside workers on or about February 4, 2012. There was never a serious effort made on the part of the City to negotiate a collective agreement. They were under instructions from the Mayor's office to set up a confrontation.
Mr. Ford you big bad mean man! To the City are you guys on Crack? do you know the war chest CUPE has stored up for you? There is negotiations and then there is all out unreasonable positions to people who are firm in what they stand for. Good luck to the citizens of Toronto, your elected Mayor and the city negotiators are taking you for a ride that does not look pretty. If people think the City learned from the last strike dont think the Union folks did not learn a lot as well.
