If I had any doubts about giving up on OC Transpo, they have effectively disappeared.
A bid to end crippling strikes or lockouts at OC Transpo was voted down on Friday by the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 279.
The vote was 62.8 per cent in favour of maintaining the strike/lockout model instead of arbitration.
Jim Haddad, Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 279 secretary-treasurer, said he was very disappointed.
“They’re afraid of what the arbitrator will decide. It’s the unknown,” he said.
“Hopefully, the next time the two sides are at the table they will negotiate and get a contract.”
Yeah, right.
