I believe if the ATU executive and the HSR management teams were to discuss the "facilities" issue in the context of the "norm" the kind of sites on the Unions web page would shown as a very rare exception....not to justify the conditions as this is not acceptable....but they could come up with a solution that is cost effective and not requiring the construction of a very expensive brick and mortor "facility.

I'm sure some end of the line routes could not even accommodate a facility as there may not be water and sewer services available ..like in some rural locations in Flamborough or Glanbrook for instance.

As for the wages....I'm sure the Union and or the HSR management has or can provide the statistical information you suggest in terms of the cost of living....having said this....this is an argument all workers can and do use....as most workers....have fallen behind the rate of inflation throughout the 80, and 90s.....the bottom line is...the TAXPAYERS have to dig into their pockets to pay for this....and if that scenario was applied across the board...all workers would be behind.....at the end of the day....$35.00 p/hr (with benefits) is not to shoddy
