The president of the union representing thousands of frontline TTC workers says there hasn't been enough progress at the bargaining table to avert a strike with seven hours left until the midnight deadline.
"We do have some proposals and things that look promising, but at the same time, until they're crystallized in writing, that we can tangibly take to our membership without strings attached.""We're not just trying to protect our members and their families. We're trying to protect our pensioners. We're actually trying to protect the integrity of the Toronto transit network," Aldred said.
"Teams from the TTC and ATU Local 113 have yet to come to an agreement, though I am encouraged both teams remain at the bargaining table to continue working towards a deal," Myers said in a statement Thursday morning. "The TTC is committed to securing a deal that avoids any job action that will be disruptive to the lives of millions of Torontonians."He said that the union and the TTC have agreed that in the event of a strike, service would end at 2 a.m.
The province has said that it is following the strike closely, but has not said whether it would introduce back-to-work legislation if there is a strike."We've been able to successfully negotiate deals now with three of our six unions. We suspect this will be a lot like the last deal with Local 2, and that this is going to go right up until the last minute," he said. "There's always that momentum in the 11th hour where, you know, things just sort of start happening.
