TTC workers' strike 'on hold' following last minute deal

"Today we finally saw action on these critical issues," it added.

In April, ATU Local 113 applied to the Ontario Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development to request that a conciliator be appointed to step in into their negotiation with the employer.

Things, however, are not all settled yet. The strike is just “on hold” as the union works "through details and to arrive at a fair and reasonable contract that we can recommend to our members to ratify,” according to the CP report published on Yahoo! News.

Still, Rick Leary, TTC CEO, is "extremely pleased that we’ve been able to reach a tentative framework settlement."

"This is a fair deal that is affordable for the TTC and respectful of the important work the 11,500 members of ATU Local 113 do every day to keep our system safe and our service reliable," he added.
