York Region Transit Strike Hits Week 8

TRANSIT STILL OUT IN YORK REGION
Miller Transit workers reject forced offer - On January 6th, ATU 1587 members said 84% no to a final offer vote demanded by the employer through the Ministry of Labour.

Labour Council is calling on York Region Council to scrap the contracts with private transit operators and replace them with a public transit system that works for riders, workers and the public. The labour dispute with the private contractors continues into week eight, and it is clear that the private operators have no incentive to settle the strike.  In a letter to Regional Councillors, Labour Council is urging them to cancel the private deals and set up a truly public transit system instead.
