With finished Rocket subway cars leaving the Montreal Street Bombardier plant this week, striking workers are in Toronto to put the pressure on the Toronto Transit Commission.
They want the TTC to not accept the vehicles assembled by replacement workers and to pressure municipal and provincial governments to urge the employer to reconsider the bargaining sticking point over pensions.
They’ll be picketing in Toronto for the next three days at a variety of TTC stations.
Company spokesperson Stephanie Ash says three cars left the local plant this morning but not without strife from some picketers. (File photo)
