Recommendations
Councillor Palacio, seconded by Councillor Nunziata, recommends that:
1. City Council request the City Manager to report to the next meeting of City Council on:
a. the feasibility of rebating garbage charges, and other appropriate fees and
charges for services not delivered but directly billed for, during the strike;
b. the feasibility of rebating, crediting, or otherwise compensating non-profit
organizations who the City supports with grants, and that can demonstrate
significant financial loss as a result of the strike;
c. a detailed report of the site conditions, including remediation plans where
necessary and the possibility of long-term soil and groundwater contamination at
all of the temporary garbage storage sites; and
d. a comprehensive accounting of the additional costs and savings to the City as a
result of the Strike.
Summary
Following the conclusion of the labour disruption organized by Local 416 and 79, Council
should explore the feasibility of several measures that could help to correct some of the
problems created by the strike and rebuild the trust and confidence of the public.
The citizens and non-profit organizations of Toronto suffered through the strike, therefore they
should be compensated where it is possible and reasonable for the City to do so.
