GO Transit employees’ union unable to secure new contract with Metrolinx, will strike on Monday
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 strike, which will involve bus operators, station attendants and other employees, is set to get under way at 12:01 a.m. on Monday. Metrolinx said bus service will be suspended in light of the walkout, though trains will remain in operation and stations will be open. “Negotiations have failed because Metrolinx failed to come to the table with a reasonable offer to address any of our key issues,” he said in the union statement. “Protections against contracting out are imperative to ensure that experienced workers are on the job running GO Transit safely and efficiently. Without these protections, Metrolinx can contract to outside companies which will hire inexperienced workers in precarious, non-union positions.
Aikins acknowledged ATU’s concerns about contracting outside workers, but maintained the company has measures in place to ensure safety for all.
