Dan said:Wow, the TTC is really coming under the gun lately. I'd hate to be a driver these days. The public scrutiny would be unbearable regardless of the good pay.
tboy said:Hey Chunky:
I have an idea, since you employee 15 people since you feel so bad for these drivers why don't you hire them?
At their current rate of $45.00 an hour that is.......
Chunky said:I called a contractor the other day to do some work on my property. You believe this fucker wanted approximately $35 an hour plus material. These contractors are way over paid in my opinion and usually do a half assed job if I'm not standing over them with a Mike Holmes bible in my hand. You ever watch Mike Holmes dude? Now that's a contractor working for THE PEOPLE and doing RIGHT the first time!
Maurice Boscorelli said:Now you've done it. The gloves are coming off now!
Chunky said:You should consider changing your handle to TASSUME!
The hourly rate of a TTC driver after serving 30 months is 26.58 with a chest full of decent benefits which were fought for by giving up pay during hard negotiations.
I actually pay 4 of my employees more than that Tassume, sorry I meant Tboy.
Would you work most of your life for approximately $52,000.00 a year without added overtime? You think with todays standard of living $52,000.00 a year allows you to live a life of luxury? I know it's not enough for me. I would die earning only 52K a year and even if you add another 30k. in overtime. DUDE I wouldn't want to drive a bus 10 hours a day to make 80k. but that's me. I can see from your hard on for the TTC boys you are envious of their pay and job security. Maybe someone from this board can put in a good word for you!

tboy said:^^^^ not only are you "captain obvious" I think you deserve the shit disturber monacher as well lol
Guido said:Where is the chunkster? Maybe he's gone off to have a group hug with the TTC workers or maybe he's gathered a bus load of TTC drivers and is on his way to Muskoka with signs in hand to picket your home Tboy. LMAO
tboy said:You're complaining about $35 an HOUR? Holme's crew is what, 10 guys? The minimum each is $25 per helper, holmes is $250 an hour, plus materials. The job your contractor would do for $1000.00 Holmes would charge $10,000.00.
Don't believe me? I know people on the crew and I know contractors who work for him.....
Oh, FYI? I worked corporate for $52K a year putting in on average of 80 hrs a week and sometimes over 100...so, blow it out your ass.....
Once again: put up or shut up. You are so in defence of your union buddies, HIRE THEM otherwise STFU already.
(btw: if you posted all the info you'd have posted that some of them make more than $100,000.00 annually also)
Here's a list:
Take note of the workers under the category "operator":
OH, and another thing: $52K a year TO START....to fricken START and the qualifications are? A driver's licence and a clean abstract.....whoa, where do I sign Up?
That includes an amazing benefits package, full medical and dental, great vacations, uniforms paid for, free training, job security....oh wait, job security if you DON'T break the law that is....lol.....sorry, my bad......
Maurice Boscorelli said:Rebuttal now over to Chunky......
tboy said:^^^^ not only are you "captain obvious" I think you deserve the shit disturber monacher as well lol
(but there really is no rebuttal: if you want to renovate your entire bathroom for 10's of thousands of dollars when you only have to replace the tiles, Holmes is the guy to call.....)
Chunky said:You worked for a corporation as management and you only made 52k a year with all those hours you put in?? Dude I apologize for giving you more credit than you deserve. You are a hammer head and you should really find unionized work, at least the extra hours are at time and a half or even double time sometimes.
Buddy you are wrong on their wage. 52 to 53k a year is their base pay. When an operator makes over that it's called, now try to understand and comprehend what I'm about to tell you, IT's called OVERTIME. That's time and a half if a worker goes over his/hers 40-44 hour work week. It's something you obviously never had the pleasure of partaking in and it's made you a very angry little man.
As for good benefit packages, retirement plans and uniforms paid for um YEAH, that's why some people are enticed to the job rather than opening up or working in a convenience store,or even worse working as a schlep contractor, DOH!
!
Trump said:What a fantastic thread. Good points on both sides, now scoot over and pass me some food and drink Maurice!![]()
tboy said:Now chunky, let me explain this to you S L O W L Y and in plain english:
That is their base rate, TO START for 30 months, as you said.
After that they get increases. Get it?
Some operators are making over $100,000.00 a year...ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS for driving a fricking BUS
And just to show what a _______ (expletive deleted) you are, you complain about having to pay someone $35.00 an hour but are more than willing to pay $475.00 an hour for Holmes and his crew? Dude, you're starting to sound like Blissful..........
Since you seem to be such a fan of Holmes, why not do a little digging? There you might find out he owned his own business before, but went bankrupt......Then how about the people who "said" they were ripped off, Mike built them a new house, then they sold it at $250,000.00 profit a month after the show aired (oh, and they weren't ripped off, they faked the whole thing).
If Holmes was so smart, you'd think he'd do a little research before he got scammed like that?
OH SHIT, I have to pee again. You want to come to my place and give me an estimate for my basement, don't worry about the bricks around the yard. HURRY I don't know how long I can hold it.Chunky said:If anyone seems like they are using anti depressants or under the influence of alcohol DUDE it is you with all your belly aching and poor reading comprehension.
Read this article please but read it very slowly!
If you read it carefully you will notice that ONLY 58 drivers made the kind of money you are talking about, the rest made about HALF. If you can do simple math without the assistance of a geometry set you will see my point about BASE salary.
The rest goes on to talk about what, tell me what um OVERTIME DOH. OUCH HAMMER HEAD ALERT HAMMER HEAD ALERT!
BTW does the name Mike Holmes feel like someone is giving you a PURPLE NURPLE?OH SHIT, I have to pee again. You want to come to my place and give me an estimate for my basement, don't worry about the bricks around the yard. HURRY I don't know how long I can hold it.
