The region and Unifor Local 4304 will resume bargaining talks on Tuesday morning, to try and end a strike by Grand River Transit workers.
That announcement was made Monday morning by the region.
The region’s CAO says they are pleased talks are resuming.
“That’s the only way that this is going to get resolved. The parties get together face-to-face at the bargaining table … try to understand what the outstanding issues are and try to find ways, if we can, to resolve them … get the strike done and get transit up and running again.” Mike Murray told Kitchener Today with Brian Bourke on 570 NEWS.
“I’m convinced the two teams, face-to-face, they’ll find ways to work this out.” he added.
The over 700 drivers, mechanics, vehicle service attendants and dispatchers have been on strike since last Tuesday morning.
“Just like on the first day of this strike, we remain committed to bargaining the best possible collective agreement on behalf of Unifor Local 4304 members,” Tim Jewell, Unifor Local 4304 President said in a release. “Transit workers deserve a safe and respectful work environment.”
The two sides have not met since Wednesday.
