Ottawa city and union officials from the Amalgamated Transit Union will reportedly meet on Saturday, December 20, to resume negotiations to end the eight day bus strike that has paralyzed commuters in the nation's capital.
According to the Ottawa Citizen, Mayor Larry O'Brien and the union representative Randy Graham agreed to seek approval from their sides to resume talking. The sticking point continues to be the city's demand that it take more control over bus drivers' schedules and route selection. The city claims this would save the city $3 million per year.
