I think I agree with most people on here that the result with regards to sick days is completely acceptable. The wage increase is not. This is a greedy union that could've had its back broken, taxpayers would've been the beneficiaries, and the city let us down. I've lost a lot of faith in Miller, and while I won't completely rule out voting for him next time, he's going to need to get some serious shit done in the interim if he wants it.
I live right downtown, in the middle of it all, and while some garbages are overflowing, the streets are still quite clean. I just walked 10k this morning and didn't get a whiff of anything. Stores seem to be stepping up and dealing with it themselves. The parks look great, not having been mowed in a while, with the obvious exception of ones that were designated as dumps. As for the tourists, I'm not sure if you've noticed, but we're not exactly a tourist destination and while the small amount we do get is down, that has more to do with the recession/passport requirements than any garbage strike.
Toronto is doing fine without garage workers?? open your eyes the parks and streets are a disgusting mess! Get these buggers back to work ASP and get everything cleaned up so we don't lose any more tourists
