ATU 113 Statement on picture of TTC Collector
TORONTO, Jan. 22 /CNW/ - The following statement is issued by Bob Kinnear, President of ATU Local 113, which represents Operating and Maintenance employees of the Toronto Transit Commission:

There have been many media enquires about a picture taken at 10:00 p.m. on January 9 of a TTC Collector described as "sleeping" in the booth.

The TTC is conducting an enquiry on this and until this is completed the union will have no comment on the matter except this:

Whatever the outcome of the enquiry, it is very discouraging that the picture taker and, apparently, other customers, made no attempt to determine if there was anything wrong with this TTC employee. A simple knock on the glass might have determined if the Collector was, in fact, asleep, or whether he was unconscious as a result of some medical problem. The reports that passengers were laughing at him as they passed by the booth makes this even more disturbing.

The union will comment further at an appropriate time.

My brother works for the TTC and cannot believe what they get away with. The collector job is the gravy if you can get it. Most have personal DVD.s and iPods playing all the time. One guy actually plays games on his laptop and has been caught on several occasions. I

I saw this in the paper today. Just another example of a lazy city employee that most people don't give a shit about.

Conservative assholes itt. That guy is obviously unconscious as the result of some medical problem.

[BennyLaRue]

Yeah, when I pass out, it's usually while seated with my hands folded neatly. It's the natural position for passing out due to a medical condition.

[zook]

maybe he passed out b/c he doesn't have any legs

Thought so too. He reminded me of one of those Johnny Cabs from Total Recall.
