Well, almost... it still has to be put to a vote, but it looks like all Drive test offices across the provinces will resume operation on 5 January 2010: CTV News Article (http://toronto.ctv.ca/servlet/an/local/CTVNews/20091219/drivetest_strike_091219/20091219?hub=Toronto)

I figured they would be back to work once the daytime temps fell below freezing and the snow flew. Maybe now I can get back my $75.00 they've been hanging on to for the last 5 months.

Then the Union would not return to work. Vicious circle.

That'll be triple time including paid lunch & breaks thank you & if I feel like it.

Anything over 8 hrs of work = 8 hrs of pay on regular days is overtime. Rotation days (sat sun) overtime.
