The union representing thousands of TTC workers said Friday that people should prepare for a 'total disruption of transit service across the City of Toronto' if no deal is reached in a week’s time.
The union representing thousands of TTC workers said Friday that people should prepare for a "total disruption of transit service across the City of Toronto" if no deal is reached in a week’s time.
"This is an employer driven process and if the employer comes to the table with reasonable offers and, you know, reasonable wages and so on and so forth, then this strike can be averted," he said. "But notwithstanding that we're preparing for the inevitable and we should expect that transit service will be disrupted on June 7, pending the outcome of a successful negotiation.
A transit strike hasn't happened in Toronto since 2008, mainly because the province designated the TTC an essential service. However a court struck down that designation last year, opening the door to strike action. "We're looking for all of the things that are going to benefit workers and that is fair wages, fair pensions, no contracting out and all of the things that are important to us," Di Nino said.
