Careful, my understanding is that the TTC isn't locking the doors.  It's
changing schedules around, and the union plans to refuse to work the new
schedules.  Sounds to me like you should *probably* be suing the union,
assuming the new schedules are reasonable and not a calculated provocation.

If I was planning a government response to the mess, I'd try hard for some
creative solution that would make both sides scream.  Then at least they'd
have some incentive to compromise peacefully *next* time.
