Barrie transit drivers vote overwhelmingly for strike as contract talks stall; city prepares backup plans
The Barrie transit union, with a 96.5% vote, favors a strike starting Monday if no new contract is reached with MVT Canadian Bus. The company, a Texas-based firm, has been negotiating since June but no agreement yet. Issues include better benefits, rising assaults, and American-style labor rules. The city has backup plans, including management driving buses and special rides for essential trips. Talks resume Friday, with a potential strike starting at 12:01 AM Monday.
