As a driver who is responsible for the safety of your children, grandchildren etc I believe that the drivers are entitled to at least a fair working wage. Only speaking for myself but I do not think that this is an unresonable request. Keep on fighting.

If you support the union in their quest to reach a fair wage of $21.00 per hour, then don't put your kid on that school bus.Their asking is not exorbitant in any way. I support the union.

Councillors King and Mayne seek path back to Cassellholme Board

In terms of process or honesty, I just don't see how councillors King and Mayne can be in the wrong in this dispute. I also strongly doubt the integrity validity of Choric's argument against Lowery. Looks to me that council will continue to be largely dysfunctional until Chirico is no longer Mayor.

King: "He alleges that he and Mayne were targeted after questioning legal expenses connected to the Castle Arms dispute." I forget, did King and Mayne question the Mayor's illegal expenses? Just curious.

Paying scabs more then what they offer their own workers. I would be scared of what kind of training these drivers have... hopefully someone checks. Where did they all.come from?

I do not the unions are way to greedy now a days.The only thing the union thinks of is money money money and they do not think of people who are on a pension when the taxes goes up to cover the wage they demand.The main problem now a days is that people has to control there spend even fi they have to down grade the living habits

City Council decides who it wishes to sit on the board. Not the other way around. Some of these boards want patsies who will follow along and not question what they are told to do. This is another sign of disfunction.

Where is the OPP report on Chirico? He has to go one way or the other. I am tired of hearing his name connected to every controversy.

Alouette speed running their reputation into the ground over providing a barely liveable wage to their most important employees is quite the PR choice. The company is just going to try to replace these drivers with cheaper labour to keep their profits in line. I'm not sure cheaping out on drivers is the best solution for the safety of the kids and the community but that's just me.

Let the games begin. Thankfully we have a chance to trade the players this fall. North Bay has the "Cup" for the "most secretive" City and this year they are looking to win the trophy for the "most investigated city". At the meeting Engineer Parfait hinted of an investigation of the City's engineer and Councilor Lowery tried to give a notice of motion about a Long Term Care investigation. Add this to the OPP investigation, the Integrity Commissioners INVESTIGATIONS (at least 3), and the Ministry of Municipal Affairs investigation on in-camera and we are guaranteed the Championship plus many personal awards like MSC-most secretive councilor & MDM-most disgraced mayor.

It is clear what causes the problems raised throughout this article. Now what will Prabmeet Singh Sarkaria, the current Ontario Minister of Transportation will do, or is his ongoing avoidance dealing with the real causes of these dangerous problem something we should all be challenging?

The MTO should be at the School checking to see if the drivers are qualified and the Police should also be there to ensure they have their vulnerable persons check certificate BEFORE they leave the School with a Bus full of kids. People with those qualifications are usually already employed and aren’t just readily available at the drop of a hat because an opportunity just popped up.

Scabs after 4 days seems like a pretty crappy thing to do. I get in the long term it may be necessary because at a certain point a deal is not possible. But 4 days is insulting.

I remember in the past they couldn't find enough drivers and now they are able to find drivers.
