Compared too...?
Considering the number of operators that appear on the sunshine list in Ontario, TTC operators are hugely overpaid compared to Metro Transit.
If you compared MT to TTC, they would say they weren't paid enough...
My comment earlier about the pressure on government to pay a 'living wage' wasn't just about transit operators, but about everyone enjoying the ability to get paid a wage the covers cost of living expenses. I suspect that with this ship building contract, a lot of unions and companies will be under pressure to start paying more considering that the cost of virtually everything in NS is going up. Look at the price of houses/condoes - its all gone up on speculation and nothing has happened yet lol.
I'm just trying to say that as the costs go up, every should be able to expect their wages to grow with at least inflation to deal with cost of living increases, not just transit operators.
