Scoop: at least 500 GO train conductors, engineers & customer service ambassadors have been denied vacation for the remainder of the year. The news comes on the same day the Ford gov’t announced a huge expansion in GO service in the GTA. Full story: toronto.citynews.ca/video/2024/04/…
Here’s the full statement from their employer, Alstom. Metrolinx is transitioning to a new operations partner starting in January.
@TinaYazdani So, they(Ford Government) have outsourced the already outsourced work for even less $$$. And, while they were at it they screwed their employees again.
@TinaYazdani Maybe GO could've afforded their employees their well-deserved vacations and even a raise if they told Metrolinx (merged with GO in 2009) to let go of a few of their dozens of Vice Presidents...
@TinaYazdani Ford really, really despises workers, esp unionized workers. Conservatives always do. They're always on the side of corporations, not the workers who do the work that makes their profits, on the side of major employers, not employees. Ford's "For the People" slogan was a scam.
@TinaYazdani "Don't worry, folks. I'm gunna take those vacations fer ya!"
