All aboard!
A rare quirk of TTC labour relations will open Line One this weekend because the union doesn’t care to work. The Amalgamated Transit Union has cancelled an agreement on overtime because he believes the service is understaffed. The subway was to close between Lawrence West and Sheppard West stations on Saturday for the weekend (May 12 and 13) but now will be open. The TTC was made an essential service in 2011 after a stoppage in which there was essentially no notice, leaving passengers stranded after a night out.
