Transit strike looms

A transit strike could be a reality in Thunder Bay before the summer is over. A strike vote by bus drivers and maintenance workers will be held on August 29th. Meantime both the City and the Amalgamated Transit Union will be holding conciliated talks Thursday. The Union says the major issue in the talks is the City's request for concessions, which Union boss Charlie Brown calls detrimental.
