Federal Labour Minister Rona Ambrose says she is prepared to introduce back to work legislation that would put an end to a public transit strike that's lasted 50 days in the nation's capital.
Ambrose said back to work legislation is necessary because both sides are too far apart.
She says she is reversing a previous decision not to intervene in the public transit strike because talks are not moving any closer to a resolution.
The federal government will need the co-operation of the opposition parties in order to get the legislation moved through.
Liberal MP Mauril Bélanger, who represents Ottawa-Vanier, says the situation is desperate and stood in the House of Commons Wednesday to demand an emergency debate on the issue, which is scheduled to take place Thursday night.
The developments on Parliament Hill come as the Canada Industrial Relations Board ruled Wednesday morning that OC Transpo is not an essential service and doesn't pose a direct threat to the public's health and safety.

Even if they decide to go back to work today, it will take at least a week to get all the buses ready to run. Since most had been idle for over 50 days now, the batteries, motor old, freezer and engines in a lot of the buses will not work.

I really hope the strike will last another four months, as this will break the record set by Ouebec city bus drivers, which lasted about 6 months in 1970s. As the capital of Canada, Ottawa should set and maintain a record. Therefore, I strongly support both sides to stand on their grounds.

Once the government passed the legislation to order the union to back to work, everything will maintain as it was before the strike. The union will not be able to go on strike for at least 1 (or 2 years don't remember clearly) year.

这一阵子听CFRA，不断有司机或者机修工强调说关键问题不是“钱”的问题，那么CITY也用不着再给OFFER了！（就连最近的三年涨幅9.25%的OFEER都拒绝了！！），因为再怎么涨钱都会拒绝的。
那好，既然“不差钱”，而且他们想要SCHEDULING，套用冯巩的话，想的都“想死你了”，那就给他们好了！但是：拿掉$2,500的signing bonus;工资年涨幅1.5%取代3％（比照 PUBLIC SERVICE的涨幅）；看看UNION 再怎么说。如果还要拒绝，那么以前的所谓“不差钱”纯粹是鬼话！

The scheduling issue is one way or another related to the money. The senior drivers could make over $40,000 per year from overtime above their salary since they have power to select their favor route and time, but other drivers who have no power were only select left over bus routes and times. Unfortuately, they were washed head by senior drivers. Tax payers have to pay what they own.

Do not listen to what they said they want respect and dignit.
