As transit riders in Toronto prepare for a potentially crippling bus, streetcar and subway strike on Friday, the Ford government is staying tight-lipped on any response from Queen’s Park, including whether it’s developing a contingency plan to help thousands of commuters who could be impacted.
Almost 12,000 Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) employees, including bus and subway drivers, could walk off the job at 12:01 a.m. Friday, leaving the city’s transit network in tatters when commuters start to head to work in the morning.
Workers represented by the Amalgamated Transit Union would begin the first TTC strike in more than a decade if the City of Toronto and the union can’t reach a deal by the early Friday deadline.
The potential strike would be Toronto’s first since 2008 after provincial legislation that banned TTC drivers from striking was struck down by a court. A 2011 law, introduced under the previous Liberal government, had designated the TTC as an essential service, taking away their right to strike.
