TTC Supervisors Eye Strike Over Shifts | Toronto News

TTC station supervisors are poised for a strike as 97% of CUPE 5585 members vote to authorize walkouts if talks stall over their first-ever collective agreement. The main dispute? TTC’s push for split shifts, which supervisors say would wreck work-life balance, gut sick leave, and kill pay premiums — while also offering weaker disability protections than other TTC workers. Union rep Jesse Mintz warns the job has evolved into frontline emergency response, yet safety concerns are being ignored. TTC insists it’s still negotiating with a conciliator, values its staff, and is committed to a deal. The union will return to the table on August 11th — and with back-to-school season looming, time is running out to avoid disruption.
