It might just be the MBA in me talking though. I’m not sure how a “critical service” is defined but I’d have to say the TTC sure sounds like one by the amount of impact it has on everyone on the city.

In addition, it seems that (IMO) that TTC workers were already over paid (source). In 2005, the average wage was:


TTC Bus Driver: $24.32/hour
Canadian: $15.35/hour
Truck Driver: $18.48/hour (2003)
Registered Nurse: $27.80/hour


It just doesn’t compute for me… Especially when you factor in all the other benefits of being a TTC worker.

People seem to consistently love more than hate on facebook except around x-mas and valentines day (where they love a lot more than normal).
