Bus Drivers Closer To Striking

The City's bus drivers are one step closer to striking.  The Amalgamated Transit Union held a strike vote and 99 percent were in favour of taking job action.  ATU President Sheila Kivisto says they'll be heading into mediated talks Wednesday.   Kivisto says a stumbling point includes wages and notes they are the second lowest paid transit members in Ontario.  No strike date has been set.
