This doesn't surprise me. I can't see the city letting the workers do some sort of rotating job action.

I saw the guy from the city talking about how they can't allow the "rotating" thing or any action that would disrupt any service so they'll shut the whole thing down before they let it happen.
Would the union be compelled to give 72 hours notice before doing something like abandoning certain routes on a rotating basis, or is the 72 hours a blanket statement saying "in 72 hours we can do what we want" or would they have to specify what will happen like "routes 419, 21, 37 and 256 will not be running in 72 hours"?
I don't like the "game of chicken" (as they put it on CBC) going on here. If the union wants to do some rotating crap then that sucks, but the city shouldn't lock them out. I'd rather transit was running 75% of the time instead of 0% of the time.
