		<description><![CDATA[As you probably know by now, Local 279 of the Amalgamated Transit Union has voted to retain the right to strike rather than have future labour disputes resolved by binding arbitration. This is a bit surprising because back at the end of January the very same local agreed to resolve the labour dispute at the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[O&#8217;Brien said when the federal government began to move forward with the legislation it was obvious that the strike was over. (CBC story) So, it seems that with the very real threat of being legislated back to work, both the city and the ATU 279 decided to send the dispute to binding arbitration. Of course, [...]]]></description>

He talks about the negotiations over the last couple of months, including the recent negotiations. The city has changed their offer from 7.25% over three years to 9.25% over three years.

Of course, if you look back through my recent entries you can probably change the day of the week and that statement would hold true. And today is no exception. *sigh* CBC has a story about the striking transit workers being &#8220;disappointed&#8221; because [...]]]></description>
