TTC strike ....so random...? (Toronto People)?

Question

I thought they already agreed. Didn't they....?

Answer 1

It is so random... luckily I was downtown tonight and decided to head home early.... I heard about it when I got home.

My bf was at work and left at 11PM... he had to take a cab from the station because by the time he got there the buses were already turning back.

They left thousands stranded tonight and should be ashamed of their behaviour.  They promised 48 hours notice but took that away saying that they were worried about drivers being abused by angry passengers.

They are overpaid greedy and should be deemed an essential service so this kind of thing NEVER happens again.

For shame

Answer 2

yeah it was i thought there was supposed to be a 48 houur notice if they were going on strike. i hope the mayor get things going fast because on monday toronto with no TTC will be crazy!

Answer 3

No, it was a tentative agreement. But anyways they are going back to work on Monday. Its becoming really ridiculous, I had no idea they went on strike until Saturday morning. They are taking advantage of the fact that a lot of Torontonians rely on their services, and taking expensive cabs is not an option for most of them.

Answer 4

No, it was a TENTATIVE agreement, meaning the rest of the union had to vote to agree to it.

I'm not going to retype my rant, plus there's another answer who has very good points.

Answer 5

Oh wow... I've really been out of the loop. I didnt go out today, so I didnt hear about this.

It's terrible. I realize their deal was "tentative", but they did promise 48 hours notice. That's not fair.

Answer 6

The TTC is ridiculous. I'm getting really annoyed now by this d**n strike business. I didn't even know they were striking AGAIN. I had an appointment today, and guess what... I couldn't go because why, stupid TTC went on strike again and didn't feel like they should notify people. The bus drivers and the rest of TTC get paid WAY MORE THAN ENOUGH. All they do is sit on their a.ss and drive a d**n bus. They are lucky to even be getting as much as they do. Every single year they wanna strike cause they are so d**n greedy. They should be getting $10 an hour for the job they do. Not to mention most of the TTC workers are rude, inconsiderate a.ssoles. They always raise the prices on bus fare and passes, but then they wanna strike cause apparently $20 an hour is not doing it for them. A bunch of selfish, greedy, idiots. I don't even blame people who assult the TTC workers. They deserve it for always striking and raising bus fare.
