No HSR Strike

Posted by Chad




It has been a hot discussion topic, with over 100 thread posts... will the HSR strike? Luckily the answer to that is currently no. Buses are up and running today.

A strike that would have shut down transit service in Hamilton was averted after the city and the Amalgamated Transit Union local 107 reached a tentative deal.
