Some 1,200 city workers in Brampton went on strike due to failed contract negotiations, impacting services like public transit and road maintenance.
"We have been at the bargaining table working towards a fair and comparable deal similar to what other Brampton staff have achieved for our members, for close to 9 months with no success," said Fabio Gazzola, president of CUPE Local 831.
Brampton Transit reported "major delays in service" and advised riders to seek alternative travel plans due to the strike.
The city stated it is committed to negotiating a fair agreement with CUPE Local 831 "while ensuring fiscal responsibility for Brampton's residents."
