The Amalgamated Transit Union 1505, representing most transit staff, is in a legal strike and has said their members will not work overtime.
A press release from the Amalgamated Transit Union says Winnipeg Transit workers face a high safety risk on the job, and there is a concern that they are not always fairly compensated for that risk. They are also fighting for a ban on voluntary overtime.
Transit users are being encouraged to check their schedule online before heading out.
