The current deal finishes up at the end of March.<\/p>\n<p>A negotiated contract could suck up another $18 million if workers are given a raise in the two to three per cent range. There&#8217;s no word on any details of a proposed plan for workers.<\/p>\n<p>TTC Chair Adam Giambrone explains the figures aren&#8217;t anything new and the transit commission will have to work with what they have in 2008.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s not a brand new figure here. We talked months ago about the increase discussion about the shortfall, and narrowed it down to a $14 million shortfall. And where the other number comes from, and it&#8217;s the trouble when you throw numbers around, we haven&#8217;t settled our negotiations with our employees for the next contract,&#8221; Giambrone said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So we&#8217;re assuming that there will be some cost in that and there&#8217;s an initial estimate in the budget projection. We have a challenge there. We&#8217;re relatively close. We do have work to do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday the TTC announced plans to make its service more high tech next year &#8211; among them, installing LED displays that would post wait times and a system that would inform riders about service delays via cell phones or mobile devices.<\/p>\n<p>The new measures are projected to cost about $6 million.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TTC Could Be $32 Million Short Next Year Wednesday November 14, 2007 CityNews.ca Staff The cash-strapped TTC could be as much as $32 million in the ho&#8230;<br \/><a class=\"read-more-button\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.jackjia.com\/?p=4436\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[133,10],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.jackjia.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4436"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.jackjia.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.jackjia.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.jackjia.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.jackjia.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4436"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blog.jackjia.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4436\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.jackjia.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4436"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.jackjia.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4436"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.jackjia.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4436"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
