Union representing 30,000 City of Toronto workers votes for strike mandate

A union representing some 30,000 inside workers at the City of Toronto says its members have overwhelmingly voted in favour of a strike mandate if bargaining fails to yield a deal.

The union represents city workers in public health, planning, city hall operations, employment & social services, cleaning, court services, ambulance dispatch, child care, 311, recreation programming, shelters, water & food inspection, and long-term care.

CUPE Local 79 President Nas Yadollahi told reporters Tuesday that over 90 per cent of workers who took part in the vote over the weekend opted to give the union a strike mandate.

Expect major Chowfuckery.
