Winnipeg bus riders are again facing the threat of labour action by city transit drivers and maintenance staff, who are voting on a new contract on Wednesday.
If the membership of the Amalgamated Transit Union local 1505 reject the contract, a strike could happen as early as Thursday, which could lead to "a complete suspension of transit services for an indefinite period of time," city officials warned Monday in a release.
"We urge our customers to consider making alternate travel arrangements," officials said.
The outcome of the vote will be posted on the Winnipeg Transit website and on Telebus at 287-7433 Wednesday evening.
Winnipeg Transit expects that Handi-Transit service would continue as usual even if a strike occurs.
