2008 Toronto Transit Commission strike
Strike action by Toronto Transit Commission employees
On April 26, 2008, employees at the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) went on strike. All TTC bus, streetcar and subway service was suspended, leaving thousands of people stranded across the city. Although the strike action was legal, the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 113 did not provide 48-hour notice of the service withdrawal as they had previously promised they would do.
