Toronto Transit Commission - the irony
Today the head of the Amalgamated Transit Union, Bob Kinnear, told the Toronto public not to call TTC employees “lazy” or “overpaid“.
This sleeping ticket collector makes over $26 an hour
I’m gagging on the irony.
I like how he also says “Stop harassing people who are doing their jobs.”
Umm…Maybe when these TTC employees start actually doing their jobs! $26/hour to sleep — where do I sign up?

Hey Kinnear, TTC employees are lazy and overpaid. Fire the lot.

Well, just be sure not to choke on the irony. We love you too much RightGirl.

That’s acutally $75 with full benefit and full pension when they retire.
I noticed that they have a better way to sleeze off now, last sunday morning i noticed this guy put some reading material on the desk and pretend he was reading but in fact sleeping, couple people passed him and he wasn’t looking or moving; i didn’t knock on the window in fear i might trigger a heart attack reaction.
Another cashier put on a pair of sunglasses so no one can see if she has her eyes closed or not.

Sadly everything is about “entitlement” now. Accountability (sp?),is fast tracking to bin #13! As for the TTC, well are they screwing us, or are we screwing them, or is their leader screwing everything “in heat”? I still say Layton has his eyes on Toronto??

No surprise here. I have worked for State and City governments, I could offer some outrageous anecdotes.

And let’s not forget the $10.00 to $15.00 an hour all their contract spiffs cost the taxpayer, in addition to regular hourly wage.
