Legislated, of course, which might be the same as getting grounded by your parents.
One might infer that the whole purpose of the strike was to scare the bejesus out of Toronto, and have the province pass legislation that would bring both parties back to the table under very auspicious circumstances.
Of course, now the serious debate begins on whether or not the TTC is an essential service. I’d say that after the brou ha-ha that ensued this weekend, it’s hard not to consider it essential. Plus, if deemed an essential service, gone is the sting of the union.
