NEW: PSAC strike set to continue and OC Transpo launches route review: Five stories to watch this week ottnews
Barring a last-minute deal to end the largest public sector strike in Canadian history, 155,000 public service workers will return to the picket lines on Monday to back demands for a new contract.
A frustrated Aylward said the union presented Treasury Board with a"comprehensive package" on Thursday but by Saturday afternoon, he had not received a reply. "I'm not going to be distracted by the kicking and screaming," Fortier said."I am focused on making sure that we have a deal that is fair and competitive for the employees, which we have, and that is also reasonable for Canadians."OC Transpo will launch a review of all bus routes this week, as the transit service looks to optimize the existing transit system and prepare for the launch of Stage 2 of the light rail transit system.
The OC Transpo bus route review will launch on Thursday, and will include a riders survey and public consultations at locations across the city.
