Mr. K. we all know who you are. The enforcer that you hired to break the union for you really worked out for you didn’t it? If you had or asked for the contract that you wanted and not tried to strong arm the union the city would not be in this mess and I […]

Clean up your damn mess children!!
I am sick and tired of hearing how the city is using “ultimatum bargaining”. I would love to hear the union president explain how their strike actions are not “ultimatum bargaining”, because it seems to me to be exactly the same thing. The union says “you give us what we want or we will strike”, […]

Corporate co-operation with a bus strike happening
To the bus drivers I say strike and good luck getting what you want. NOW for the corporate CLOWNS. That treat their employees like shit F you bastards. You can organise rides for people that can walk to work and live less then 20 minutes walk away from work. Then the dedicated people that live […]

Car-pooling pleased
In light of the transit strike, I just wanted to say how warm and fuzzy it makes me to see people coming together to get where they need to go. Twitter was ablaze with people offering drives, coffee shops are offering free coffee to carpool of 4… just wow. Personally, I’d like to thank the […]

Come back
Bus drivers come back. I love you. And not just because you get to where I need to go, but because you were friendly and I often had conversations with you. Opened your doors with a smile on your face (most times) and put up with the most ridiculous people. I have drives to and […]

Sun comes up, it’s Thursday morning
Most mornings, I walk or bike to work Downtown around 7:30 am. Most mornings, I’m relatively alone on my journey: I see some leaving-the-house activities in the neighbourhood I pass through, enjoy the silent swish of the speed skaters on the Common, and share an occasional nod of mutual approval with another biker. This morning […]

Right to strike
I realize it really blows not being able to get to work on the bus due to the strike, but instead of bitching you really should be asking: “Where is my union?,” or “Why don’t I have the right to strike when my employer screws me on EVERYTHING?” —Lives in Walking Distance of Work

Colonel Sanders and his chicken
Yes, it sucks that the bus drivers went on strike. Transit, aside from my functioning legs, is my primary form of transportation. I don’t own a car. But I support the union (as do many, many other Transit users), for a simple reason: this world of ours is divided into two groups, servants and masters. […]

Dear city
Following the details on the strike with Metro Transit is pissing me off. One union member complained about long hours resulting in high divorce rates. Then hearing about them wanting more money. WTF!!! Thousands depend on transit and now many are stuck walking or looking for rides to get to needed places. Cabs will be […]

Taxi
Quit nagging me asking if I’ll drive you to work. Why should I drive out of my way to pick you up? I know you’re cheap. Each time you ask me “Could I get a ride with you?” you never add on “I’m willing to contribute towards gas.” Do you think my car runs on […]
