The city has announced some bus routes that will see reduced service due to the transit union’s job action

Some Saskatoon bus routes will see less frequent service after the local transit union commenced labour action Saturday morning.

Routes 17, 5 23, 86 and 12 will all have reduced service Saturday, according to a service alert put out by the city.

“Transit administration may not be aware of all immediate job action but will make efforts to inform the public of delays or disruptions as the information is made available,” the alert said.

The Amalgamated Transit Union Local 615, which represents all of Saskatoon’s transit workers, announced a no-overtime/work to rule job action Friday. The move came after the latest in a long series of unsuccessful negotiations with the city, with proposed pension changes being the main sticking point.
