[QUOTE]Originally posted by Saltah'na: [QB] Tell that to all the medical staff, accountants, teachers, auto workers, etc. who feel that the Garbagemen's contract is unfair to the taxpayers of this city. The city does not have the guts to do what it should to do, like, privatize them. Almost all other cities in Ontario now contract out their garbage collection (and pay half the cost). The Garbagemen are basically a part of a city-wide union known as "outside workers". So when the City made plans to privatize Garbage Collection, the entire union got mad and went on strike. We're not talking about just garbage, it was most of the city workers that went on strike. So when the city caved in, it also caved in to their demands for Garbagemen to have "wage parity" with the rest of the Union. Thus the 50% wage increase. Oh, and applying to be a garbageman? Forget it. When word of the contract got out, the applications for being a garbageman went through the roof. When a single militant union can hold a city hostage and have them cave in to their demands, we have a problem. Also curious is why the typically anti-union Provincial Conservative Government did not step in with back-to-work legislation and send the dispute to binding arbitration. If it did, then this wouldn't have happened. [/QB][/QUOTE]
