The TTC's chief has cautioned about potential service disruptions on Monday if the union representing more than 650 electrical and trades workers proceeds with a strike. CUPE Local 2, which represents these workers, has set a strike deadline of 12:01 a.m. on April 22.
Ongoing negotiations between the TTC and CUPE Local 2 aim to reach an agreement over the weekend and prevent service disruptions. TTC CEO Rick Leary expressed hope for a resolution but emphasized the possibility of job action affecting TTC operations next week.
This strike threat follows a court decision last year that removed the TTC's essential service designation, allowing its employees to strike for the first time in over a decade. The TTC will provide updates on social media and its website regarding any developments related to potential service disruptions.
