Durham Regional Transit is preparing for a potential strike as collective bargaining negotiations between Unifor Local 222 and the transit agency have stalled. Bus services will conclude early on Friday night at 11 p.m. ahead of the union's strike authorization that takes effect at midnight on Saturday. Key issues under negotiation include wage disparities, with local transit workers reportedly earning significantly less than their counterparts in nearby municipalities. The union expressed doubts about a last-minute proposal from the transit agency, highlighting the workers' determination to secure fair compensation.
We are fighting tirelessly to close this unjust wage gap and secure a fair contract that recognizes the hard work, dedication and professionalism of DRT members.
Unifor Local 222, which represents workers at Durham Regional Transit, will be in a legal strike position as of 12:01 a.m. Saturday, June 7.
