transit strike

From personal experience… I depended on the buses to get to work every morning, after work, to get groceries and so on… I know this strike stuff is old news… but it’s current news as well. Most of you bus drivers shouldn’t be on the road. If you are fighting for overtime so you can […]

The vast majority of people speaking out against the transit strike are not capable of supporting any union for any reason at any time. —So Fuch You

I’m not a transit user but even so it’s been six weeks now. I find it quite disrespectful that Metro Transit would allow their union to keep them off the road this long. It’s been said over and over again that a full time driver working 40 hours a week make $50,000.00 a year. I […]

You went on strike in the start of February and now you’re upset cause you’re not getting your way. The city won’t give you what you want and you go boo hoo. Well guess what? When it was cold yes you had more support now we see what is really going on. You are losing […]

As someone who doesn’t routinely use transit, I’ve tried not to allow myself to get involved in the bus strike. HOWEVER, yesterday I was walking my boss’s daughter in her stroller on Barrington St when the union was rallying in Grand Parade. I was handed a piece of paper with a poorly written statement on […]

So I get up this morning to this shit. Apparently blocking the plows was not dangerous because they only held up these vehicles for “ten minutes”. So not only are you playing terrorists, you’re playing completely ineffective terrorists. Or is it? That 10 minutes means a few people are now out on the road before […]

Ok, I told myself I wasn’t going to bitch about the transit strike… it’s been done and it’s over done. But I am FURIOUS about what went down yesterday with the union employees blocking the snow plows. Ken W can spew all the bullshit he wants about the roads being clear and no one being […]

Just a thought… but here we all are moaning and bitching about the strike (especially me since I am trying to find a job while these dipwads strike) but not really doing anything about it. On the news last night the reporter stated that we the public are the most affected BUT we the public […]

Will the damn buses please come back so I can go buy new tights and underwear… too far to walk to the mall. —Captain Underpants

Today the ATU blocked plows waiting to leave their depots to make the roads safe for the morning commute in Halifax. The ATU has gone too far. It’s time for Halifax to privatize Metro Transit. It’s time to end public transportation in the HRM. Enough is enough. Let Peter Kelly know that we want to […]
