Commuters across much of southern Ontario may find themselves scrambling for alternative means of transport after the union representing 2,200 GO Transit employees announced members would be walking off the job as of Monday morning.
The Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1587 issued a statement on Sunday saying it was unable to secure a new contract with Metrolinx, the operator of the regional transport service covering much of the Greater Toronto and Golden Horseshoe areas.
ATU Local 1587 president Rob Cormier said bargaining talks broke down over safety concerns related to hiring contract workers from outside companies. Metrolinx did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the looming job action. Anne Marie Aikins, the company's head of media and public relations, has previously encouraged customers to plan ahead, prepare extra time for commutes and stay informed on strike developments through GO Transit's website and social media accounts.
