Dozens of MiWay transit workers held an informational picket at Mississauga City Hall on Wednesday to draw attention to the slow pace of negotiations on a new contract.
Members of ATU Local 1572 previously voted 98 per cent in favour of going on strike last August and since then progress on a new deal with the city has been slow, the union has said.
“What we are trying to do is make sure that council and the new mayor know that we are watching them. We are trying to send a message that we are frustrated and that we believe we should have already had a contract,” local president Jack Jackson told CP24 at Mississauga City Hall. “We expect things to change and we expect a fair and reasonable contract.”
The terms of that contract have not been publicly released but Jackson said that members of his unions expect to be granted a comparable salary increase.
