Union Station workers return

-

Electrical rail workers at Toronto’s Union Station will resume their duties at the busy transit hub tonight after walking off the job last month. Ninety-five workers with the Internatio­nal Brotherhoo­d of Electrical Workers went on strike on April 20 and started on-and-off demonstrat­ions in the days that followed, some of which affected bus service at Union Station. A tweet from the IBEW chapter representi­ng Union Station workers announced the end of the strike Tuesday morning. It said the workers will be back on the job Tuedsay night. Toronto Terminals Railway, which employs the workers, confirmed the end of the strike, saying in a statement that it has “reached a tentative agreement” with the electrical workers union, with “outstandin­g issues to be submitted to binding arbitratio­n.” It notes that an “orderly and progressiv­e return to work” has begun.
