Why did he only negotiate for 7 days unlike the previous union president who successfully negotiated a contact after spending more time at the table? It seems to me that Cornellier wanted to strike from the beginning and it was just a matter of how he was going to achieve this. Cornellier froze the buses, not the City.

The City of Ottawa is operating under the assumption that they know what they are doing.If in fact they do ! Why did it take until Dec 10th to act and freeze the buses when they could have pushed harder in the summer when the negotiations were to be complete? Seems Mr.O'Brian is playing a poker and went all in! As a former driver I am in full support of Andre and the members.
