“Unions have long supported @AndreaHorwath for her opposition to privatization... We fully expect her to uphold this principled stance–and protect public services and the good union jobs that sustain them.”-OFL President @waltonmom

In 2022, @AndreaHorwath, @CraigCassar and Esther Pauls committed to keeping LRT Operations with HSR on @ATU107's Election Survey.
Today they all broke that commitment and trust with ATU and organized labour. Their votes made the difference in contracting out ATU jobs.

It appears that the HDLC adopted boycott of a private operator for Hamilton LRT will be in effect for a decade. Councillors and the Mayor contracted out @ATU107 jobs to an unknown operator. Shameful display of wayward trusteeship over tax dollars!

Grateful for my MP and MPP. They make some excellent points about ensuring LRT is built inclusively so that it benefits all Hamiltonians. Today's decision about whether or not the City runs LRT will have a huge influence on its future success. #HamOnt thespec.com/opinion/contribu…

THANK YOU Tracey Languille president of @cupw local 548. "Postal workers support and agree with public transit... Hamilton is built on labour and by labour." She urges council to be ambitious and support model 4 where HSR and ATU 107 run the LRT.

T.H. Ponders's second delegation in Hamilton both in support of #KeepTransitPublic. He says it would be cowardly for city council to give up local insight, accountability and control to a private third party.

YES BRIAN! @ATUlocal113 member Brian Conolly clears up some confusion about Ottawa LRT. Their problems do not have to do with the public operations. Public service OC Transpo was the saving grace in Ottawa when MAINTENANCE failures occurred.

Hamilton ACORN endorses #keeptransitpublic Profit should not be a part of public services, it prioritizes profit over people! No elected officials in a private company. Municipal oversight is crucial! Fair compensation means better services #organizedlabour

Rich speaks to the affordable housing crisis happening, lessons learned from surrounding areas, and that he supports model 4. The focus should be building our city to help people out of poverty! #keepttransitpublic #LRT

ATU speaks to their experience in successfully operating public transit! Support union jobs, fair compensation, higher service levels, and transparency! Privatization focuses on profit, not services! #LRT #HAMONT #keeptransitpublic

Thank you to those who understand and advocate for keeping transit public, as we know this creates more opportunities and reduces barriers for community members.
It is so crucial toward making our city a healthier and more equitable community.

Not being able to move around the City creates barriers and reinforces inequality. Public transit options create more inclusion, and more accountability for community. Thanks to these folks for continuing the fight to make sure LRT is fully public.
