Ontario legislature expected to pass bill ordering TTC strikers back to work this evening

The Ontario legislature are meeting today in a rare Sunday session in order to pass legislation mandating striking TTC employees back to work immediately.

The opposition NDP and Progressive Conservatives parties have indicated that they will support the legislation, thus ensuring its quick passage and royal accent by the end of today.

Conservative Leader John Tory called the strike "outrageous."

NDP Leader Howard Hampton said the legislation being proposed is similar to a bill used to end the 2002 garbage strike in Toronto.

"This is legislation we voted for before,' Hampton said Saturday. "It's fair, it's balanced and we can support it again."


The back to work order will:

  • Call for the strike to end immediately after Royal Assent is given
  • Impose fines of $2,000 per day on individuals and $25,000 per day for the union or employer if they ignore the back to work order and remain on strike.
  • Refer outstanding issues to a mediator or arbitrator
So it looks like the TTC service will be back in operation for tomorrow morning's rush hour commute.

Although I disagree with Ontario Premier, Dalton McGuinty on many issues, he deserves commendation for his quick response and effective leadership on this issue.

Update:

TTC strike officially over as Ont. passes legislation

Kudos to the Ontario legislature for resolving the situation.

Toronto Mayor David Miller and his friends in the Toronto Municipal government should learn that if they become too close to the unions and start consorting with them, as they have, it will eventually come back to bite them.

It was something to see the look on Mayor Miller's face when he realized that his union buddies had double crossed him when they broke their promise of giving 48 hours notice before they went on strike.

Hello everyone!
I would like to burn a theme at here. There is such a thing, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of financial piramyde, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.

For several years , I make money with the help of these programs.
I'm with no money problems now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I get now up to 2G a day , and my first investment was 500 dollars only.
Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my web site to get additional info.
