TORONTO — A strike that would have nearly shut down Toronto's public transit system has been averted, after the transit workers union and TTC announced a last minute deal following months of negotiations.
"Our demands have been reasonable. We asked the TTC for assurance on job security, for protections on contracting out our jobs, for improvement in benefits for active members and pensioners," the union said in a statement.ATU Local 113 said a strike was now"on hold" as it works"through details and to arrive at a fair and reasonable contract that we can recommend to our members to ratify.
"This is a fair deal that is affordable for the TTC and respectful of the important work the 11,500 members of ATU Local 113 do every day to keep our system safe and our service reliable," he added.
