Bryn Weese of the Toronto Sun cites the work of Ben Dachis, Policy Analyst at the C.D. Howe Institute, in his October 7, 2008 article, which discusses the high improbability of the TTC being named as an essential service. Weese cites Dachis’ findings, which indicated that essential service designation does not stop illegal strikes and would result in substantial wage increases. The Toronto Sun.
