How is it that the union wants to continue to bank sick days? According to this Toronto Star article this the main reason for the strike: http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/article/654346 Most of us don't get paid sick days, much less have the ability to bank them if we are fortunate enough not to have to take them. How can the City of Toronto continue to take on this liability now reported to be a quarter of a billion dollars according to this CBC.ca article: http://www.cbc.ca/canada/toronto/story/2009/06/23/leave-bank.html CUPE and the members need to give themselves a collective shaking for thinking that they can continue to rob the taxpayers of Toronto blind.

About CUPE Local 79 :
CUPE Local 79, the union for about 17,000 City of Toronto inside workers.
CUPE
The Canadian Union of Public Employees came into existence in Winnipeg in September 1963 when delegates to the conventions of NUPSE and NUPE decided, in separate meetings, to dissolve their respective unions and merge into one large union for public sector employees.
CUPE is a Members' Organization. Only CUPE members sit on the National Executive Board, which runs the union between conventions. Only members serve as the elected officers of CUPE. CUPE employs a large staff of servicing representatives, both in the field and the national office to support the activities of local unions by providing information, advice, assistance and training to local unions. At all times staff are responsible to the members they serve.
The members are CUPE. They are the union. CUPE was built by workers who, in group after group, got together to form local unions. They did so to have a stronger collective voice in their workplaces and in society as a whole. They wanted to work together to determine their wages and working conditions; to eliminate arbitrary action by employers; and to speak out without fear of reprisal. It wasn't easy. In local after local, they fought against the power of the employer.
But in the end they won. And now CUPE members enjoy the freedom to bargain collectively. They have a method of resolving grievances and a way to gain fair treatment at work.
