THUNDER BAY — The president of the largest union at Thunder Bay's Alstom rail car plant says layoffs will be a certainty next year without a new contract to keep production going.
The province and the Toronto Transit Commission have already agreed to commit $758 million each for new Line 2 subway trains on the condition the federal government will do the same. He predicted that, without funding for new subway cars, those layoffs will begin no later than mid-2025, and possibly earlier.
"As the only rolling stock manufacturer with a footprint in Ontario, we are obviously closely following developments regarding the renewal of the Toronto subway fleet. We stand ready to continue to support future public transit projects in the province," the statement concluded.
