Always?

Try doing their job before you make inflammatory comments.
Yes, they are well compenated.
Yes, it does sound like they are whining about their working conditions.
However, if you listen to what the union boss was saying, he just wants his members to be treated the equally as the rest of City employees and the non-union management of the TTC. If you listened carefully, you would have noticed that the union person when off sick, doesn't get the same benefits as the non-union employee.To be treated equally.

Where I work, we have four different unions, and management,with varying qualifications,but everyone gets the same "basic" benefits. The same percentage of pay increase, the same working conditions and the same respect, no matter what job you have.
