Since the start of August, Halifax Transit has had to cancel dozens of trips because of a shortage of drivers. And the president of the union representing workers says it's going to get worse if things don't change. Shane O'Leary with Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 508 says it's one thing to hold a recruitment campaign to try and bolster the numbers of operators. But he says there's little chance the new employees will stick around with forced overtime, split shifts and a wage that is not competitive. And they are urging council to get involved since the members of the ATU local have been without a contract for a year.
