Blue Water Bridge Strike Ongoing

It looks like the strike involving the Blue Water Bridge in Sarnia is still ongoing. I believe that it is close now to the 3rd week of the strike.

My information is that not only are the parties not talking but there are no meetings set up yet for them to do so. I must admit that I do not understand the logic of that approach.

As far as traffic numbers go, I have not seen anything being produced yet to let us know what is happening with respect to the border crossings in Sarnia especially at this time of the year when traffic should generally be pretty high.

Here are a couple of photos that I was sent that shows what traffic was like at the Bridge. Hmm I don't see many vehicles at all!  I was told that these photographs were taken of traffic on Saturday, December 3, which usually is one of the busiest days 3 weeks before Christmas although I do  not  know the time they were taken. 




What I am told is this could be one of the lowest volumes of traffic ever seen for over a decade.  

I just wonder when the Union and Management will meet again and whether attempts will be made to resolve the differences between the parties to end the strike.

If not...who knows what would happen next!
