Grand River Transit

[Rick O'Shay]

Strike predictions tomorrow?  Yes or No.

I'm inclined to say no, they'll settle tonight.

If they reach a 11 hour deal it still needs a few things to happen: 

1. Documents need to be printed (changes to the contract)
2. A meeting arranged for the members 
3. A ratification vote by all the members

That won't happen Sunday and likely not Monday.  With that being said it will likely last three or four days at the very least.  If you look at other transit strikes in Canada over the past 20 years they usually last a month.  Unless of course the government steps in which they did in Toronto but failed to do in Ottawa the capital of the nation. I really do hope that each side does not drag their heels on this out of pride and spite.  One thing also to remember this is not about money its about policy and the government hates to change policy.  If it were money this would have been settled a month ago.
