The YRT strike, which began on October 24th, continues to drag on with virtually no response from the region. This lack of action is unacceptable, as those who rely on transit are forced to endure long walks, rely on the aid of others, and resort to using routes that while not impacted by the strike, are less convenient and overburdened by their increase in passengers.
This petition is for people who want to see regular service resume, regardless of where they stand on this debate. The collective bargaining process has not worked, and back to work legislation will likely be needed sooner or later. If our councilors, the ones which are supposed to represent the views of the people, choose not to act we will not be voting for our incumbents in the next municipal election.
Reaching this level of support shows that the frustration across our region is finally starting to boil over into something they cannot ignore. It has been a long and exhausting wait but seeing this many people hold the line gives me the resolve to keep pushing forward.

If they dont fix this by next week my vote is definitely going to someone else. Not acceptable at all.

The region needs to stop sitting on their hands. People cant get to school or their jobs. Ridiculous.

Enough is enough. I have to pay for a pass that is useless and I'm tired of begging for rides to get to my shift.
