Email Request to the City of Hamilton

Sent yesterday at 11:53pm, Copied to Ms. Cluckie, Mr. McMullen who is  covering for Mr. Zegaric and Ms. McCormick

Mr. Zegarac,

I am writing on behalf of The Hamiltonian regarding the ongoing strike involving water workers.

We request a breakdown of the total costs the city has incurred to date as a result of this strike, including both hard and soft costs. Specifically, we seek to understand the full financial impact, which should encompass, but not be limited to, expenditures related to hiring external services to ensure that management or replacement employees can cross picket lines and access water facilities.

To clarify, we are asking for a comprehensive figure that represents the total costs the city has borne in connection with both the strike itself and its management.

We must note that this question has been posed previously without a response. As Hamiltonians are the primary stakeholders of these public funds, they are entitled to transparency on this matter. Given the protracted nature of this strike and the time that has passed without resolution, we believe it is imperative that this information be made available to the public.

We would appreciate it if you could provide a detailed report of the total costs incurred, along with a clear breakdown of those expenses, by Thursday, July 10.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,
The Hamiltonian
