Well the city of Ottawa has been struck by a dilemma that has caught the attention of many. Employers of the Oc transpo (the local buses here in Ottawa, for those who don't know) have decided to go on strike because of the new union agreement. To my knowledge, before the strike, they had 12 sick days, and now the union took away the 12 and made it down to 6 because the contract expired or something. ANYWAY. The city of Ottawa tried to stop the strike by giving them two extra sick days... making it a total of 8, however that didn't impress the bus drivers and mechanics of OC transpo. It is day 3 of the strike, and has been 3 days that I haven't seen buses on the streets of Ottawa.
As a bus rider, I am definitely sick and tired that the government is waiting for them to make a move. They will not make a move unless you make one first, hence the strike. Seriously, we NEED these buses back on the streets, and it doesn't seem like the city of Ottawa is trying their hardest in the dilemma that has struck the streets of Ottawa.
