CUPE Local 79, representing 30,000 City of Toronto workers, has requested a no board report, which could lead to a strike or lockout. The union highlights issues like stagnant wages, excessive workloads, and staffing vacancies affecting employee morale. Last month, over 90% of members supported a strike mandate. Local 79 President Nas Yadollahi emphasized a refusal to accept further delay in fair compensation. If the Ministry of Labour approves their request, the workers could be in a strike position within 17 days, signifying a critical moment in negotiations.
"City workers have had enough. After years of being overworked, understaffed, and underpaid, we refuse to accept a deal that keeps us falling further behind."
The union representing about 30,000 City of Toronto workers has officially requested a no board report, moving continuing negotiations with the city one step closer to a potential strike or lockout deadline.
