TTC workers could strike
Despite the midnight deadline, the union and the TTC have said buses and streetcars will
The last TTC strike in 2008 ended after less than two days when the provincial government held a special weekend sitting to legislate the union.
Toronto was on the brink of its first major transit strike in 16 years as union leadership vowed it was ready to shut down service while the transit agency warned it had no plans to take part in a last-minute bargaining session.
The Ontario Federation of Labour OFL is pledging its full support to the 12,000 TTC workers represented by ATU Local 113 who will be in a legal strike position as of 12:01 a.m. Sunday.
This would be the first strike by TTC workers since 2008.
Both sides agreed to keep subway service running until 2 a.m.
The deadline for the TTC and Amalgamated Transit Union Local 113 to reach a new deal and avoid a strike is less than 12 hours away.
