This Just In: GO strike averted!
Hey guys, this just in!
It seems that a strike will not happen after all since GO Transit and their union reached a tentative deal, which marks the end of a possible walk-out. However there’s one catch – the deal must be ratified by the members of the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1587. It could have been a lot worse for many passengers. It’s not only the bus drivers who are planning to walk off the job. Many front-line staff were scheduled to walk off the job too.
Until the deal is ratified by the union, it seems that passengers must plan their routes – should the strike should go through unnoticed. With help of a conciliator, both sides are negotiating a possible deal between the two. It seems that many commuters (especially post-secondary students) can breathe a sigh of relief. It seems that:

So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh…”

I will cover more details about the deal tomorrow on this blog. It’s still little fresh at this point, but stay tuned.
