[2001 ZTS]

My point was, for one thing, being as it was a Friday night there were more than likely quite a few people who ended up in cars when they shouldn't have. Not that the pressence of a strike is a legitimate excuse for DD (there is NO legitimate excuse naturally) but people who are under the influence do stupid things and unexpected lack of TTC can be considered a contributing factor.

Enhancing a danger to the public is classless and rather shocking to me actually.
I hope no innocents were hurt or killed because of it.

I've been in a unionized enviroment (including CAW of all things) and currently work with the CAW on a daily basis*, we actually get along quite well and I doubt they would pull a stunt like the ATU did. Not bashing all unions, I see/agree with their purpose but dislike the blind/"union can do no wrong" support that some tend to have and not saying you're one of them.

Lets be honest, they did the wrong thing and they did much to hurt their own cause in my opinion. Foolish, they should have finished the shift, helped get everyone home safe and start the strike at 0600 when the subway normally opens in the morning.
