HSR Strike

Not so great for commuters into the city

City bus drivers, Hamilton Streetcar Railway (HSR) mechanics and support staff voted 94 per cent in favour of a strike Sunday night.

Which doesn't sit well with communiters whom rely on the HSR to get to work, not to mention students whom travel a distance to get to school.

The talks fell apart on Jan 24, when the Amalgamated Transit Union, Local 107 and city are scheduled to come to the table with a mediator.

Hopefully an agreement can be met, A.T.U has been opperating for some time now without a contract, which they should with the city of Hamilton.

If a fair deal can't be met a strike will be on.

A Message from A.T.U - Local 107 President.

They have set up a Website to address the concerns citizens have of the HSR going on strike you can view it here
