interesting tidbit from citynews about dissention within the union...

Quote:The disgruntled union members said to be behind the 'coup against Kinnear' are also accused by insiders of deliberately spreading disinformation about contracting out that led maintenance workers and drivers alike to reject the deal.

TTC brass has adamantly denied that any layoffs are in the offing but union brass loyal to Kinnear suggest the rumours were enough to get the majority to reject an offer that gave drivers a three per cent raise every year over the next three, along with a clause guaranteeing they'd always be the highest paid transit workers in the GTA.
