ADVERTISEMENTS

Day 35 of the Toronto city workers strike, and no end in sight (in fact, one of the unions representing the workers has indicated that they will walk away from the bargaining table if they haven't reached a deal by midnight Sunday).  The Windsor municipal strike ended recently after 101 days so we'll see if that has any impact in Toronto.  And now we have the VIA engineers strike.  

But these strikes don't simply impact those who are walking the lines (and their families) but also those employees that VIA has been forced to layoff because of the strike.  And what of the public?  In VIA's case, thousands of travelers have been stranded.  In the case of Toronto municipal workers, well, the garbage piles up and we are oddly grateful for the cool weather and rain.
