TTC Strike is Back on The Table
The votes are in, and the tentative contract presented to TTC workers was not accepted. Unless there is some miracle then TTC may be on strike as early as midnight. But really, here's hoping that's not the case, not just for the obvious a strike would suck reason, but also because, it's Friday…
Then again…

Is your local in this situation?
We are in a situation where it is likely that we have no representation through our local. That is to say, our dues are likely going directly to Mobile Drive (rather than our local). Mobile Drive is the location of OSSTF head office in North York, to my understanding. I just love how I have to…

JP + Billy 4VR
Right now I will attempt to reduce the shame that JP must be feeling by offering an absurd theory as to why he is currently paying for his old boss’ DH. An old boss that supposedly taught the young JP to avoid exorbitant contracts. JP and Beane have got to be working some sort of backdoor…

Doubting Thomas
