When two of the city’s unions walked off the job on June 22, they promised that the following services would not be affected:
TTC, police, fire, long-term care facilities, emergency 911 calls and urgent EMS care, and sewage and water treatment would remain intact; guaranteed CUPE Locals 79 and 416.
However, they warned, non-emergency and low-priority 911 calls could be compromised.
Now, the City of Toronto has filed a petition with the Ontario Labour Relations Board to get the number of paramedics and dispatchers back up to normal standards.
