Hard to imagine that the Union representatives actually believe any of their nonsense.  I've mentioned it in other articles recently but a report citing 2015 stats showed that hundreds of TTC employees had acquired 2-7 years worth of opiods through doctor/pharmacy shopping in one fiscal year alone.  There is either a lot of addicts (who should not be on the roads) or drug dealers (who should not be on the streets or collecting public purse paycheques) and this is a great way to weed (pun intended) out the former.
