Talks have broken off between the Amalgamated Transit Union and the City. Bus drivers have been without a contract for sometime and voted recently to take strike action if a deal can't be reached. ATU President Sheila Kivisto says it's unfortunate they couldn't reach an agreement on Wednesday. Kivisto says they are taking a wait and see approach since the mediator may pull them into another meeting in the near future. Kivisto adds they're fed up with being the second lowest paid bus drivers in Ontario.
