I think the biggest problem, and this is something that even Mike Harris, the biggest union buster around never tried as premier was to simply declare the TTC an essential service.
Don't think that public transit is essential to Toronto? Watch the chaos that will happen on Monday folks <_<
Look, I'll admit I'm unionized myself and all about protecting worker's rights here, but holding an entire city hostage is a disgusting tactic that should not get rewarded IMO.
Declare them an essential service, binding arbitration (on both sides, only way to make it at all acceptable) and there you have it, problem solved and we don't have to hear stories of TTC users, esp. Wheel Trans users becoming virtual shut ins when the drivers decide to hit the bricks...
