TTC Strike Deadline Looming

Toronto Transit Commission Workers to Strike on June 7

Contract Negotiations Stall, Union Issues Strike Notice

The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) and its largest union, representing 12,000 frontline workers, are at a standstill in contract negotiations, prompting the union to issue a strike notice for June 7. The union alleges that bargaining has stalled and a strike is inevitable.

The Ontario Ministry of Labour has issued a no-board report, moving the union closer to a strike deadline. The last round of negotiations concluded without a resolution, and the union has declared that a strike will commence if an agreement is not reached by June 7.

The TTC has urged both parties to continue negotiations and find a compromise that averts a strike, which would significantly disrupt public transit services in Toronto.
