All things considered it looks like a pretty good deal. If anything, it may be seen by voters as too sweet. Granted it does eliminate sick day carry over but gives a payout for earned days.
Miller releases city's contract offer
Details of a proposed 7.2 per cent wage increase over four years released Friday in high-stakes move to end 19-day strike by Toronto workers

Mayor David Miller looks on as City Manager Joseph Pennachetti speaks during a press conference in Toronto in February.
In a high-stakes move to end a 19-day strike by city workers, Toronto Mayor David Miller has released key details of a proposed contract offer.
The offer includes a proposed wage increase of 7.2 per cent compounded over four years: 1 per cent in 2009, 1 per cent in 2010, 2 per cent in 2011 and 3 per cent in 2012.

The deal would also scrap the controversial sick leave benefit program, which allows full-time employees to collect, carryover and cash out up to six months of sick pay upon retirement, and replace it with a short-term disability plan.
However, the city has agreed to pay out a portion of the existing sick leave credits to staff. For employees with 10 years or more of service, the average payout would be about $8,500, the city said. The minimum payout would be $500 for full-time employees. Part-time workers with CUPE local 79, which represents indoor workers, would be eligible for a payment of up to $500 based on their hours worked in the previous year.
Details of the new plan were posted at www.toronto.ca/offer.
