Toronto transit workers appear headed for a midnight walkout, claiming they have seen no progress in the latest round of talks with the transit agency.
In a late afternoon update, the union said they had not seen the progress needed in order to address their core proposals, including job security.
“Going on strike is not the course of action we want to take; however it is necessary to protect the future of our members’ families, our pensioners, and the integrity of Toronto’s transit system,” read a statement released by union officials.
“The TTC has left us with no other choice …ATU Local 113 will be moving forward with strike action tomorrow at 12:01 am.”
The statement concludes by saying they will remain at the bargaining table this evening and that they hope the TTC uses this as an opportunity to reach an agreement.
