I'd rather not get sucked into a big debate online about this, so I'll just say that Nextasy's posts on that and other recent reddit threads sum up my thoughts on the issue as well.
These drivers and mechanics are out picketing in the snow and rain, taking a significant pay cut to do so, while Mike Murray and the rest of the regional admin team enjoy their heated offices at their full six-figure salaries. Given those conditions, and what we already know about regional mismanagement, if I have to give benefit of the doubt to one side or the other, I know which side I choose. And that's before I factor in my normal skepticism of management vis-a-vis labour.
If you think they've initiated the first transit strike in GRT history for the right to a longer smoke break or to swear at their customers without oversight, you're dreaming.
