Administrative and office staff at OC Transpo will receive raises ranging between three per cent and five per cent a year in a new four-year contract.

The Interest Arbitration Panel has released its ruling for binding arbitration between OC Transpo and the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 1760. The union represents approximately 350 Transit Service office staff and administrative staff.

Yeah, the capitalists are very much against paying anyone appropriately, which is why they’re capitalists.

You're kidding if you think the NDP would pay employees appropriately either. BC actually pays less than Ontario does for their public servants. Manitoba's not a whole lot better, and their most recent CBA tops out the pay increases at 3% for a total increase over the life of the CBA of 14%. Or in other words, on-par with what we're talking about transit workers getting here.
