As the labour dispute between the City of Hamilton and its water workers continued, The Hamiltonian, along with the union, repeatedly requested a breakdown of the strike’s financial impact on Hamilton taxpayers. Given the availability of budgeting tools, spreadsheets, and project management systems, one would assume the City has the means to maintain a running tally of these costs.
Despite these ongoing requests, the City has yet to provide a cost breakdown. Most recently, it informed The Hamiltonian that a report will be presented at an upcoming General Issues Committee meeting—though no specific date has been shared.
This only heightens public interest. Our detailed request can be found here, and we remain committed to pursuing answers on behalf of our readers. Stay tuned.
