All I know about their demands came from the last time the city and the TTC came to an "eleventh-hour compromise" (a week ago? two weeks ago?), and nothing in what the union representative listed in that article, stating it all was exactly what they wanted and very satisfying, was in the least bit exaggerated or insane. 3% wage increases over the life of the contract (equally approximately inflation), better life insurance and pension plans, checks and balances to make sure that future employees benefit from the contract, not just current employees... I live with someone highly involved in the functioning and social presence of unions and he, too, felt none of this was exorbitant. We were both relieved that a strike was found unnecessary.
If you have more information as to demands that are ridiculous, or anything about Mr. Kinnear's tactics that indicates any inappropriate action on his part, I'd love to see it. I only have snippets to work with on this matter.
