This is making the rounds to city employees, talk is cheap, time to start fighting for the Toronto you want to live in. RALLY FOR TORONTO! Monday, September 26th, 5:30 pm Toronto City Hall Come to City Hall to demand respect for every Torontonian - Our Communities, Public Services, and Good...

Hey everybody!...I found a 10 dollar bill in between my couch pillows today, so logically, there MUST be a hundred dollars in there! God help us all

Just an FYI...most of the fire and paramedic support staff is comprised of people who are in one way or another injured and are unable to perform regular duties. The rest of them are mechanics or people who would otherwise need specific training. Cleaning staff is very, very small...All of the...

It's probably less than half, but I know where you're going with this I am honestly don't think that's a fair assessment to use. You'd be hard pressed to find a decent home in the city for less than 450k/500k...most people simply can't afford that. A new home 25 minutes east of the city can be...

Like many Ford supporters, debate seems to be an exercise in futility. There were two parties involved in the strike. The city delayed and stalled negotiations for months until the last possible minute while the union was prepared to negotiate. Councillors gave themselves a hefty raise and...

Picking up YOUR garbage may be menial, but it's a job that needs to be done and it's not a job that many people would want to do or could do everyday. Should they be payed as much as doctors? No of course not. But making the 20 something dollars an hour they make is a fair wage that someone...

IMO, the area the size of a highway on ramp is not enough space for an arena the size of the ACC. The rest of that area is Milne park and is a protected conservation area. The portion to the south of the 407 is hydro fields and a fairly large transformer station

There is absolutely no room anywhere near that area to put a walmart, let alone a stadium, hotel and mall.....

Grade 12 and 6 months of training? Is that what you think it takes to get on with TPS?? You'd be hard pressed to find recent recruits who aren't university educated... Their pay is in line with other police forces in ontario, slightly higher, but the call volume is by far the highest.

I'm going to go ahead and assume you're referring to the garbage collectors, and not the other (forgotten and under-represented) members of 416. I really don't think it should be a crime to earn a wage to live off of. What the people of toronto don't realize is how good they actually have it...

The union did not want that strike, period. The union was prepared to negotiate months and months prior to that even beginning but the city kept stalling until the last minute. Privatization will do nothing to 'teach the union a lesson', it will only cost a few hundred people their jobs. The...

Just FYI, in terms of the sick bank. The city is now spending more money with the new sick plan. Absenteeism is way up because before there was incentive to save up the sick time as a little retirement bonus for yourself. Now the 'use them or lose them' program has people taking time off in...

I agree, I found the last few questions lead you on a bit. Though as a disclaimer, I am a unionized employee with the city. While at this point, my job is in no immediate danger of privatization given the nature of what I do, I do find the general anti-union sentiment pretty troubling. I...

The problem is people already moan about the lack of accountability with the police, I don't think the situation would improve with a private security firm running the city...In any event, I agree it was just the generic form of the survey, but it irks me that it was even included, tis all.

Have any of you guys done the survey? There are actually options to contract out police, ems and fire. Absolutely ridiculous.
