Toronto City workers: will they strike tomorrow?

[wallop]

I heard that during the 2002 strike people began dumping garbage on parks, ravines, beaches, etc.

Shame on you Torontonians.

[jstaneon]

I hope there's no strike.

Even though they may have a right to strike, the province might legislate them back to work due to hot weather and its tourism season.

lol, There's no shame it that. If there's no front lawn, how about the backyard?

Private garbage and recycling collection will continue in Etobicoke and at most condos and apartment buildings across city.

question with regards to the article posted above, this line:

PARKING TICKETS

Will not be issued.

does this mean people can park anywhere in toronto without consequence ?

does the green-P parking lots fall under this as well?

[help_questions]

regardless if they strike tomorrow or not, we need to email david miller and show support and express our desire for the union to make serious concessions.

here is a link to an updated article.

http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/article/654346

"If this turns into a strike, it 's not because of union demands. Let me be clear: It is because of the City of Toronto's demands to rip things away from us."

I've emailed David Miller and demanded that the union make the requested concessions, and expressed my support for the city's position during these negotiations. By showing they city that they have the support of the public, they will not back down from this union and hopefully get the concessions that are in the best interests of the general public.


Here is David Miller's email: mayor_miller@toronto.ca

I suggest everyone who is against the union take a quick moment and send the mayor an email or phone call and let him know that WE, the public, are against the union and support the concessions that the city is seeking.

I was called to do Security at a CoT site, which means that YES, the strike is most likely happening.

Well there's one good thing about this strike!

[kingfencer]

since no one enforcing green parking, they mind as well make them dump sites...

[krozet]

I vote yes they will. Call it a hunch...

[dgs]

Weather forecast for this week is sunny most days - of course they are going to strike. The one real question is whether taxpayers will get a property tax refund, since the city won't be paying all those wages - oops perhaps that one's even more obvious in fact...

Live, now on CP24 at 12:19am, it's official CUPE Local 79 and CUPE Local 416 are ON STRIKE

[Emancipated]

I thought any decision making was deferred until the 30th? This sucks!

[_Allan_]

Emancipated - June 30th is another couple Locals ...

I know that before July 10, there are likely to be 18 different "Locals" on strike, including the 416, 79 ... Coca Cola, a Truck Union, Globe & Mail, and a dozen or so more.
