Bombardier Transportation: Vote to Strike at Bombardier
Transportation Toronto Maintenance Facility

TORONTO, ONTARIO--MAY 30, 2002 - 14:15 EDT
Last night, 134 unionized employees of
Bombardier Transportation' s Toronto maintenance facility, under
contract to GO Transit to provide maintenance services for its
commuter rail fleet, voted to go on strike. These employees are
represented by the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU)-local 1587.
They rejected an offer of a three-year renewal of their contract,
which expired on December 31, 2001. The strike commenced at
midnight last night. The offer of a 3% increase per year, for
three years, plus readjustments in some job classifications
totalling 5%, 4% and 4%, was rejected by a percentage of 56%.

Bombardier Transportation expressed its disappointment at such a
move. Trained and certified management will commence immediately
to carry out maintenance services to GO Transit's daily commuter
rail service while continuing to ensure the utmost safety to the
riding public.
