Some 700,000 commuters in Canada's largest city had to
find other ways of getting to work Monday as transit
employees walked off the job.
Subway stations were locked and buses and streetcars
remained parked in garages while confused commuters
scrambled to find alternate routes to work. ...

This morning found me luckily getting up at
4am and catching a ride into Toronto with
my husband. This strike affects the working
poor whose employeesstill expect the minimum
wage employee to be at work regardless.
Through the years TTC union employees have
held us all at their mercy.
My job starts at 10am so you can imagine how
tired and sleepy I am right now. I usually take
the Durham transit/Go train and TTC to work
each morning.
The expense is great and to think about taking
a taxi from Union Station to Eglinton well....
I'd rather stay home.
Unemployment insurance should be forced to
cover days missed at work for hourly employers
when things like this happen.
