End the Bus Strike; Remove the Local 508 ATU

The Local 508 Amalgamated Transit Union has walked off the job of it's own choice to it's picket lines on February 2nd, 2012.
Since that date, there have been many attempts to bargain, reason and work with this Union to little avail.
Friday, February 25th, the Union has refused generous offer after generous offer in a bid to retain 8 million + in overtime costs. They (the local ATU 508) have shown, time and again, through both actions and it's chosen representative in the media, ablatant disregard for the city it operates in, it's ridership, and the most vulnerable citizens dependent upon it's services.
This petition is for the public that demands the immediate removal/firing of the local ATU 508 from Metro Transit buses. 
The Halifax Regional Municipality taxpayers and ridership wish to stand unified in their demand that this extremely greedy union be removed from service and jobs be granted to individuals willing to do the work for a reasonable pay. The general public no longer wishes to do business with the Local ATU 508, nor allow it's membership to continue to serve this region.
The petitioner would like to stress this is NOT a general attack against Unions, this is targeting one, specific union that cannot respect nor understand how difficult it is to get a mere 1% raise on the table, much less 9% for unskilled, un-degreed workers.
