Strike wave on Canada and Quebec's Roads

Greyhound coachline workers in Western Canada, represented by the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1374, are on strike. Word is that 'no end is in sight.'

Meanwhile, in Quebec, Montreal's transit workers are poised to hit the lines at 12:01 a.m. on Tuesday if a collective agreement deal cannot be negotiated. These workers are represented by the Confédération des syndicats nationaux (CSN). In the event of a strike, hundreds of thousands of commuters in Quebec's largets city will be affected.

I should be fine here in Southern Ontario. My union-made automobile, despite walking off the job on me a few times, is running well. No disruptions are expected.
