The union representing most of York Region’s bus drivers is warning commuters to start planning an alternative ride on Monday.Full story
Drivers for Miller Transit and First Transit are expecting to receive an offer Tuesday from their employers and then to vote Wednesday and Thursday on whether to accept it.
But the union is not optimistic the offer will be enough to avoid a strike set for midnight Sunday.
Drivers will vote on the offer whether or not the union bargaining committee recommends it, said Ray Doyle, president of the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1587.
“We are anticipating they’re going to turn it down,” he said.

Looks like I am buying my November pass this weekend.
they wont strike! they'll give them what they want to avoid it and then have a rate increase to make up
Why buy your pass? The ticket sellers and enforcement people are all in the same union. Who is going to check the tickets? Management? LOL

You may be correct. But I am honest to a fault. I couldn't live with myself otherwise.
