“Get back to work you bums”
—Quote from unnamed citizen as reported in the Ottawa Citizen this morning, with regard to the strike by extremely well-paid public-sector union workers in the government’s government-owned and run bus division.

RUNNER UP:
“You don’t have any supporters”

Bonus!
Same article provides us with one of the most pathetic statements of the week:

“You know what, we’re not there for them, we’re there for us.”
—Quote from public-sector Amalgamated Transit Union boss Andre Cornellier as reported in the Ottawa Citizen this morning, with regard to citizens suffering this morning during the strike by his extremely well-paid public-sector union workers in the government’s government-owned and run bus division.

Hi Joel,

This is definitely a local story and issue, however, if you really need further examples of union arrogance (and evil…) look no further than some of the quotes from this union and its leaders in the various news stories. Two weeks before Christmas, right after 30cms of snow, and a couple of weeks before the World Junior Hockey Championships. They fully admit that this is why they chose this time to strike….

BONUS BONUS!

I accidentally screen-captured this from the CTV Newsnet coverage of the story.  Apparently the bus was serving the UNION, as the union boss said above.
