Thought for the Day

[bcholmes]

What bugs me is the reversed "I've got mine so screw you" meme; there seems to be a "I don't have a secure, well-paid job, so why should the TTC workers?" vibe going around which suggests that we as a citizenry should be content with a lowest common denominator standard, rather than striving towards a place where *everyone* has reasonable compensation and job security.

There are elements of the TTC strike that I wish had gone down differently. But, more than that, I wish people's attitudes toward collective bargaining and strike action were a lot different than what they are.
