Listen "What’s driving transit troubles in Halifax?"
Episode Synopsis
There have been lots of changes to help move buses around Halifax Regional Municipality more efficiently in the past few years. But in spite of the dedicated lanes and turning signals, Halifax Transit has been reducing services because of labour issues. They are about 100 operators short of meeting their optimal numbers and the union has some thoughts. Shane O’Leary is the President of Amalgamated Transit Union Local 508. He says members have gone two years without a contract and keeping workers has been a real struggle for the utility. He says it comes down to safety and remuneration.
