Good for them. The CEO's salary went up $90K in 2023 from his 2022 salary and it's up $200K since he took over in 2020 and he's basically done nothing since.

Why essential public infrastructure like the transit system is even unionized is beyond me... I guess taxi and rideshare drivers are licking their chops, though.
Average TTC Bus Driver yearly pay in Canada is approximately $83,810, which is 136% above the national average. The Transit Operator role is a permanent full-time position. No part-time hours are provided.
I don't see why every few years they don't have an independent arbiter review their pay situation. Much better than strikes. It's an essential service.

It’s a social service for those who can’t afford a car. For people to work go to school and shop. It’s why the services are provided. Maybe private businesses should help pay the fare or costs of heir employees taking buses to work
I know many people that work in the TTC garages fixing busses. In the private sector, you have 2 hours to complete an annual safety inspection. TTC allots 20 hours for the same inspection. Workers that work the overnight shift easily sleep in busses for 3-4 hours daily. The shop foreman must be “invited” on to the shop floor or else it is considered a grievance and the union gets involved. I am shocked that no one has done an audit to compare how many hours it takes TTC employees to do a job opposed to the private sector. Any business operating like this would have been shut down instantaneously. The taxpayers are on the hook and the lazy workers are still not satisfied!
@@luminyam6145 Rob Ford privatizing garbage collection in the west half of Toronto has worked out wonderfully, actually. Even in the east where it's still public, they know if they ever try to cripple the city with a strike again that they'll get privatized too.
I took the TTC yesterday for the first time in 16 years. I boarded two buses, and there were arguments between passengers and staff on both of them, not to mention the bad smelling people. I will never take the TTC again, as long as I live. How about making the system better as opposed to always asking for money.
There goes our summer!Imprisoned within your personal spaces unless you own a car!Nobody can afford an uber to get from the subburbs to downtown.Unless you use the go to Union.😮
This is an essential service. They shouldn't be able to strike. There are people that have medical needs who HAVE to get around. They might not know anyone with a car or have money for an uber! People are going to have to check into hospitals just so they can get their daily medical needs taken care of. What if all the firefighters, police and medical workers went on strike? This isn't so different.
TTC is pathetic. Maximum pay for minimum work. The majority who use the TTC earn far less than those working for TTC. At a time when the cost of living is skyrocketing the striking is unacceptable. The lowly paid, seniors and many others will be affected very badly.
@@deepbrit How long are they gonna keep playing the pandemic heroes card? It's pathetic, you got to keep your jobs when many of us lost ours, while also earning a nice premium.

Have you ever seen hairdressers on strike??? or any beauty professionals?? we are underpaid . We have no union!! and will keep working hard.!!! Because we’re strong!!!
Go Unionize then. You can go brag about being an underpaid and under appreciated employee where people care. Imagine flexing because your boss won’t pay you decent enough wages.
Everyone owns a car and drives to work right?WRONG!Then why are thousands taking a bus.Schools out so it makes it ok.What about daycare Oh right,everybody drives😮
This is NOT fair!!!!! Its GREED!!!! They're extremely well paid. What about the single mother who can't feed her kids because she can't get to work? Not everyone has an alternative. This will drive up fair for the rest of us and the TTC is already the 3rd highest fair in the world. The judge was WRONG, of course it's an essential service. This needs to be appealed, the TTC should NEVER be allowed to strike! They're abusing this right to indulge their greed, like all unions. If you don't like your job, quit, but good luck finding such a sweet deal anywhere else!

There’s so many criminally underpaid jobs. I find it personally hard to empathize with a group of people who are making on average 136% more than the nation average.
It's cause they're unionized workers. Instead of complaining how low other workers are getting paid, why not focus on how high the few at the top are making? If you keep workers wages low, WE ALL STAY LOW. If you focus on knocking down the top, WE ALL RISE!
It’s the CEO who has to make service better. Employees work as they are asked . Lack of funding and outsourcing is the main reason management and a making billions while tax payers are suffering
@@deepbrit no, that's not true. It's up to the workers themselves to hold their duties to high regard, do the job that they are being paid to do, and treat the public properly.
Offer to do the job then! There's a number of reasons why TTC employees make a bunch. Theres also reasons no one want the jobs lol. It's dangerous just to start. Dealing with the public is unpredictable frustrating, annoying and you are not protected.

Those guys needed to switch jobs, 90% are arrogant, doesn't care about riders, no need less affordable drivers on road, every second day drivers miss behave, after all these why they want more, just quit job.
Those who blaming transit operators don’t know what their job is Transit keeps 12 hour spread and the work can be only 5 to 6 hours but transit hold operators for 12 hours (break is unpaid here take note) So wind short transit operators make around 3000-4000 a month only Lot of pay goes to taxes
