We believe taxpayers have a right to know the cost of the decision to not agree to a parity cost of $300000 for 54 water employees.

IUOE 772 to Pursue FOI on Strike Costs
The IUOE Local 772 intends to file a Freedom of Information request application to the City of Hamilton, as early as today. We will request - replacement labour costs including City staff who did not perform their jobs, scabs and contractors, third party security, AFIMAC, costs for 24/7 coverage throughout City including accommodations at Sandman, costs for van service to transport replacement workers, privacy fencing around Woodward, water main breaks and repairs, overtime costs, training costs, penalties and overrun costs for HSR construction site operated by Pomerleau, and lost productivity for water distribution, wastewater collection crews, road crews and garbage pick ups, fire department attendance and associated damage at HSR main hub caused by bus idling indoors, extra City of Hamilton corporate security costs, meeting costs and any other strike associated costs.
We believe taxpayers have a right to know the cost of the decision to not agree to a parity cost of $300000 for 54 water employees.
