This group of people held approx. 1/2 of the city of Halifax hostage; and they get a signing bonus of $4000.00. What the hell for? I was upset by the $1600.00 that was on the table!!! I could have lived with that but $4,000.00 of which is a portion that I must pay through various TAXES. I have been around for many years and I have been involved in union business and I have never heard of the like. Do they now think that they are sports stars?!! —Pissed Off Citizen
This article appears in Mar 15-21, 2012.
Oh FFS.
It is absolutely outrageous.
Heads should roll for this.
Who should we write to so we can complain about this money give-away?
HAHAHA complaining won’t do SHIT about this.
Joke’s on y’all!
I love it when people are pissed off over stupid shit and bitch and complain about it but in the end can’t do a damn thing about it.
I heard on the news this morning that Metro Transit will have zero tolerance of harassing the bus drivers.
What a riot.
Best you can do POC is tell your councillor what you think of it at the polls in October.
Jealousy anyone? Give it the fuck up and grow the fuck up. You want to be mad at someone? Then direct your anger where it needs to be directed. Namely the ones who came up with the deal. We could have voted no again and been out for another 1,2,3 or more weeks. Would that have made you happier? Your stupidity is beyond comprehension….
Speaking of sports stars, I wondering where Peyton Manning will end up? I like Tennessee, they have a solid offensive line, the owner has already stated that he wants his staff to do what it takes to land this guy plus he played his college ball in Tennessee as a Volunteer, Peyton’s wife is from Tennessee and his dad played pro ball with the half of the Titans front office as a member of the Houston Oilers back in the early eighties.
Arizona, on the other hand has a solid playmaker in Larry Fitzgerald that Peyton could throw to. Denver is a young, up-and-coming team and Miami is in the mix as well but I digress.
I bet his signing bonus will be more than $4,000.00 OP if that makes you feel any better.
Yeah Trood, I’m a big Colts fan and Manning is my favorite player so I’ve been anticipating this decision.
I’d like to see him in Tennessee because they’re in the same division as Indy, that’d be something. I think it’s going to be Arizona, and I think that’s the right choice for him. Veteran team who has experience signing a veteran QB (Warner) in the twilight of his career and making a supperbowl run. I don’t see Denver or Miami getting him.
Wherever he plays I’ll support him and it will make a great story line for next season.
I just want to choke a bus driver right now. Bunch of fucking leeches
I completely agree OP. I have made no secret about my views on this bus strike and when I found out the deal I was disgusted.
4000.00 signing bonus for a job they already had and refused to do. This 4k just encourages them to strike if they can get this signing bonus next time.
Anyone not outraged by this hasn’t followed the story enough.
See wheels, you are the very example of why unions are bad, they protect entightled douchebags like you. Have a little grace and compose yourself, as you got far more than you deserve. If I were mayor, I would have locked you the fuck out and gave your jobs to some skids in the soup kitchen lineup, at least they would be grateful to have them. Even untrained monkeys could go a year without 650 accidents.
I second that emotion.
my dear pissed, yeah, kinda insane isn’t it? but when you consider who is the mayor, welllll. the city should have held out one more month, and then they would have caved in, and maybe even hung wilson out by the bus barn. but no, petey gave them what damn near amounts to a paid vacation, and who gets stuck with the the shitty end of the stick again? yep, you and me, joe and jane(sucker) taxpayer.
I’m giving up my engineering job to be a bus driver.
Imo, $4000 is not enough. The drivers should get 100% compensation for all lost income. The city had no business flucking with them.
g.v., doood, you are fucking jking, right? if not, then i seriously recommend a shrink in the very near future. these assholes ala wilson, have cost this citizenry a lot of woe, and cash, not to mention lost jobs. and i personaaly would love to be the person, to tie the knot around wilson’s neck.
SHITD, you are the very example of ignoramouses and idiots that overlook the fact that this was a BRIBE to get us back to work because this is the only way THEY THOUGHT THEY could get what THEY WANTED which was rostering (THEY being the mayor, city council, and management at Metro Transit). We did not want rostering and kept saying that this was all smoke and mirrors and that THEIR argument about overtime was bogus, but ignorant people love to believe the lie. I was speaking to a reporter on the day the BRIBE was accepted and was told by this reporter that they were continually refused their requests for the figures for the overtime incured from the Canada Games. Why was this overtime incured you may ask? Because THEY were too stupid to foresee the need for extra drivers I guess, and had no trainning happening at a time when they should have. So shut the fuck up all of you stupid dumb motherfuckers. You have not a clue in hell as to what really goes on at Metro Transit. You’re so fucking gullible it’s sickening. And SHITD you don’t even take the bus so fuck you asswipe and stick to correcting people on how they make grammar rule mistakes in their bitches, snob.
Say “smoke and mirrors” again Wheels. Lol
Smoke and mirrors……. LOL
Maybe my math sucks, but an unpaid strike for 6 weeks means that $4k paid for 6 weeks of salary when *some* people didn’t even *want* to strike, is not a bribe as much as approximately 50% of what they would’ve made if they’d been working, no?
Yeah but they didn’t work. You don’t do your job you don’t get paid.
just goes to show you the fucking mindset of these gredy cocksuckers, don’t it. yeah, you defend your little nazi friends, and i’ll defend mine, not which is the city, you guys, or any fucking crooked union alive and stealing today. how the fuck do you expect to ever get any support ever again, when you fucking whining assholes go back on strike, maybe soon again, right. what else do you want from the city, new bathrooms on the buses, so you don’t have to stop and get off them. you are without a doubt, the biggest asshole i have ever had the misfortune to read or hear from.
anyone that wants to take this idiots bus, get ready for this surly sonabitch. i and a lot of others, that you fucked over, will never give you a shit bit of support again, and blocking things, just makes you all bigger douchebags, than you already are and were. i wish the fuck that i had been drinving one of those things. you would be a blot on the ground.
Hahaha…saps.
Hey Biscuit.
Are you an engineer? or are you just working in the related field?
I’m a design engineer. I design various systems to fuck ur mother.
well this fucking blows.
“We could have voted no again and been out for another 1,2,3 or more weeks. Would that have made you happier?”
uh, yes… I would have been MUCH MUCH happier.. as I have been lately.
Now I get the privilege of paying an increased fare, lose the extra hour I’ve spent getting extra sleep to sit on a stupid bus twice a day… god damn transit.
Enjoy your 4k and raises, asshole.

I’m a civil engineer and make enough money to shop at a real man’s clothing shop 🙂
Do you design things when not pouring your heart out to PK? LOL.
I mean you do paint a good picture of a complete loser who dresses like a loser.
Hey Katt, maybe on your shopping spree you can pick up a two rubber fists, one for each your, and your husbands greedy asses.
Go fuck yourself Wheels. You and your union are a fucking JOKE! Two weeks ago you were offered a 1500.00 signing bonus. You all said “Nooo..we will not take the city’s blood money. We will not be bought off”. Then, fast forward a week and a half and they offer you $4000 and you fall all over each other running to to signg it. I guess everyone has their price for being bought eh? Yours just happens to be 4 grand lol/ If I were you I would be fucking ashamed. You delay access a buses (after threatening to stop them altogether) callingt the drivers scabs who were trying to help the disabled and then you block snow plows and salt trucks when there is a storm and you expect us to support you? Fuck you with your fucking G E D education. And for pretty kitty, they are spending MY fucking tax money so I will fucking bitch all I want. The union members at least got to vote on this. we did not. I can tell you if we did these asswipes would still be walking around with their fruity red tshirts. Now wheels, go run over a lampost will ya? You had 660 accidents last year. You can top that!!
Hey Kat- I see you spell as well as the fucking drivers. Illiterate and they get paid 55 grand a year lol. What is hubby ripping off workers comp for? Did he drive over one of those moving lamposts we hear about so much in this city? Or maybe he has hemmroids (besides the one he is married to I mean) from sitting on his ass all day eating donuts. I can just imagine both of you are probably 300 pound pigs. Have fun shopping at Penningtons. Any luck at all someone will catch onto your workers comp scam and bust your size 28 ass!
Oh, and no, I am not jealous. I have an education and I make well into 6 figures a year. You should try it sometime.
So wheels. All you read is blah blah blah. Reading some of the comments from you overpaid asswipes the past month I believe you. That is probably all YOU Can read!! Keep working on the GED though
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Union got 4000.00 sign up bonus…riders got $2.25 (ticket) x 2 (times a day) =$67.50…dang did we ever get ripped off. Someone owes me money!
Bobby Baby, the comp is legal, eat that up, no donuts for me I’m rather on the thin side, Hubby yeah he loves his donuts, don’t all transit drivers? lol
Nope he didn’t hit a lamp post, good one though,,,
and yeah I could very well be his little( hemorrhoid)
Better take some of your 6 figures and go back to school.
And ya I still think your jealous, Bahhhhh Haaaaaa,xo
and these two are fine examples of why we all love the unions and their idiotic members.
Yes Katt they are all jealous. If they weren’t they would not be wasting so much of their precious time hating. They have nothing better to do than critisize people who in their own opinion are not as deserving as they are. Jealousy anyone? Go see shitd, bobby33, lifesucks, mmm heartzzz, cause they got plenty to go around. They also seem to have an endless supply of conceit, arrogance, holier than thou entitlement complex. Poor pompous snobs who love to hate. Have fun shopping with your hubby Katt. You deserve it.
Life sucks, OMG no wonder your fucking life sucks, 6699 fucking comments , what do U do in your spare time ?
My God you do need a life, Just saying,,,,,, your sick
I blame the city, the had the power to prevent this and chose to play hard ball.
6700 now katt. as to what i do with my life,well that is totally up to myself, ain’t it. if you are a female, i could show you how i spend some of my time, the other is working my nuts off. do i make 50 grand a year, well maybe before taxes. do i sit on my ass all day driving, no. i get the fuck out in life and see what’s around me.
i also eat donuts and cookies and cakes, by the ton, am i fat or even overweight, ask the bitchers that know me? i also don’t bother with a union, know why, they are fucking leeches and take in more sucker’s money, than they give out.
as to shopping, i do that when and where ever i wish. is this writer of the bitch related, not that i am aware of? and wheels, hope your hubby doesn’t have an accident, thereby fucking up your cash stream, as i’m damn sure that ou are too fucking lazy to go out and work yourself.
but yes, we are haters of a company or group of people, bent on ripping off hard working joes and janes. and no, we do not condone underhanded shit like the unions pull, or their flunkies, the drivers. so, you see now, these people that are a major part of your life, are just a bunch of money grubbing fucking leeches, sucking at hard working people’s tits. would i drive a bus? would you want me driving thru your neighbourhood, with a couple doxzen corpes on board? because that’s how bad my temper could get, real fucking fast. thank your lucky stars all, that i have never, ever wanted a bus driving job.
Blahhhhh, blahhhhhhhhhh, blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. What nuts? Like I said, hater, jealous, holier than thou……….. Bet your penis is as tiny as your narrow minded brain. Jealous? you bet.
The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round, round and round, round and round,roundand round, round and round, round and round, round and round, round and round and… ugh

there have been bitches about this, apparently a sign was needed http://blog.ivman.com/wp-content/NoNailCli…
That last line kills me. It’s like coffee joints having to put “Warning: Liquid May Be Hot” labels on their paper cups. Devolution proceeds apace. >: (
lizard warning: going off topic…all those warning signs/labels on stuff are a riot. more than one person had to have done the deed, to warrant a warning http://www.scenicreflections.com/ithumbs/W… http://hahasforhoohas.com/wp-content/uploa…
Katt, your hubby isn’t driving a bus, he’s fucking the workers comp system. I bet he’s on “stress leave”, probably from being married to an annoying controlling bitch, that wouldn’t let him say shit if he had a mouthful. Typical union slob, can’t speak for himself.
You dont know the facts there Harper hater,And your wrong,
Why dont you go kiss life sucks ass !!!!xo
You know why shit has dogs Katt? Because they are the only things that will let him fuck them. Bestiality, you know…… His special little guy. 😉
LOL, Wheels… you funny like cancer!!
as i said before, these two are fine examples of why we should never have a union for bus drivers. did you know katts, that peter kelly actually reads this blog, i kid you not. and i dearly hope that if he gets elected again, if he runs, that he remembers all the shit you two assholes are spewing. and maybe, just fucking maybe, the drivers will be replaced a.s.a.p., wouldn’t that be a hoot.
especially after just getting that nice fat 4 grand buy off. but you keep dreaming of you nice safe little lifestyle, it could tumble with a new mayor, and i hope to fuck it does. oh, and just in passing, bet those running, read this blog too. ain’t that a bitch?
OMG ! ! Do you ever stop?
NOPE, DO YOU EVER STOP BEING AN IDIOT?
Oh my gosh they do?????????????? I’m so freaken scared now. What am I gonna do?????????? Who the hell can I talk to about getting all my comments removed???????? You guys gotta help me!!!!!!!!!! 🙂 I feel sorry for you lifesucks because to have a post name like that means you really think life sucks. I think life is a great and precious blessing and it’s what you make it so I guess you’re making yours pretty damn sucky. Stop hating people and talking of things you know nothing of, keep that foot outta yo mouth and maybe( hopefully) just maybe the veil that has clouded your vision and thinking will go away, and you may find life really doesn’t suck that bad. Why you up at 4:04 am writing comments? No one to go to bed to? And shit I’m sorry you CAN fuck a woman. I read how you said you punted a girl who had two different names depending on what group of friends she was with, way to pick em’. Stick with the dogs. Ask shit lifesucks for the girl’s digits she could be someone new every day, that would not suck would it?
Oh and way to be a total douchebag shit and use, screw her anyway. You had the chance to have decency and compassion for someone who clearly has a mental illness but you failed at that one as well. SCUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“You know why shit has dogs Katt? Because they are the only things that will let him fuck them. Bestiality, you know…… His special little guy”
Dude, if this is the kind of shit you have in your head, i suggest you put down the LTWWB and pick up the meds. Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you? Fucking weirdo.
Ahhhh hahaha! Wheels, I guess you had nothing to do on a Saturday night, huh buddy? Just sitting there all angry and shit, typing away at 9:45pm. You sound like a real winner!! Thanks for being my weekend trollee, ya fuckin dummy.
http://images.quickblogcast.com/1/2/0/1/6/…
Oops, 9:45 am. Still, thanks for being my trollee. Lol, ass!!
You’re so passe. And you can’t even tell the time. Hohum.
LOL! Calvin stepped in dog shit.
Kick some ass, Suckers and SHITD!
these two fucking wastes of human life have no brains, or very little. they think that because they support a union, or drives a bus, they are the end all. i know a lot of bus drivers folks, and they all say the same thing, that it was retarded f wilson to make them walk off the job. of the people voting, the percentage was of the only ones that bothered to show up. if there was 700 plus members there, then that vote would have been higher or lower. the only ones there were the pro union suckers. they voted over 70 percent, because there was only about 100 there. i also know that they did lose money, even with the bribe and strike pay.
some payments demand to be made on time. and from the sounds of these two birds above, they have had no problem having cash on hand. which leads me to believe, that they are union scum, and trying hard, not to look bad. too late for that, bet next time you people go out on strike, you will get fuck all, from the new mayor. who i hope won’t be a dickless asshole like petey boy was and is. do i hate you drivers, no, do i hate the unions, again no. but i sure as fuck hate the shit that a hell of a lot of people were put thru. are you assholes going to reimburse people for cabs to work, so THEY wouldn’t lose their jobs, because of you and you slimey little friend wilson?
guess not hey, but you could be in the same boat one of these days, and i will laugh my fucking ass off at all you fools in the union or driving. goddamn this is long. to the point, get fucked and have a razor blade slide out your ass, you know who you are.the honest and minimum wage earners, will not forget so soon. and neither will the rest of the people you asshole fucked over. zero support on your next strike, what, in about 6 months for something else stupid. and by the way, what would have happened, if someone would have driven over the strikers, it has happened before.
Ahh Kat..”The Comp is legal” lol. So you found a Doctor that would give hubby a note saying that he has a bad back from eating too many donuts and sitting on his fat ass all day? I mean really. We all want to know how a fucking bus driver could get hurt on the job? I mean did he strain himself opening the door?lol. Ohhh..maybe it was the most common bus driver injury! The dreaded “bus transfer paper cut” which has felled thousands of hard working bus drivers over the years! Spin it however you want. The best part about this strike is the fact that the public that pay their fucking outrageous salaries is now aware of how fucking overpaid they are. So sit there fucktard and be proud of the fact that your lazy fuck of a husband got paid by the taxpayers for sitting on his ass and drawing compensation. So he is screwing the taxpayer twice. Once with his nauseating salary and again by getting paid compensation for his paper cut. The sad part? You are actually fucking PROUD of it lol. Says alot about you!
As far as my spelling, good for you for using spellcheck. I was kind of in a hurry because, oh I don’t know..I WORK!
“NO what i like about the 4000 bucks”- KATT
Hey Fucktard- before you put someone down for their spelling, I strongly suggest you look at your own.
“I’m a civil engineer and make enough money to shop at a real man’s clothing shop :)”
Internet Rule #26
Never use personal wealth when confronting someone unknown on the internet. You can’t prove it or prove that the person you are putting down is not as wealthy or wealthier than you.
What I’m saying here biscuit is that you made yourself look like an asshole.
I won’t address the PK comment at length. PK is great and most of us here know this. I got that real mad love for PK…mad real love to my kitty loving coast friend.
yeah…. a couple more weeks and that Nigerian prince should be hooking me up!
It only cost me $6k to get wealthier than all of y’all
I may come across as an asshole to you but a well-dressed asshole at least.
