TORONTO — More than 4,000 students at Toronto public and Catholic schools could be finding other ways to get to class this week as their bus drivers could go on strike by Wednesday.

Drivers for Stock Transportation could strike as early as 12:01 Wednesday morning, depending on how negotiations progress between management and the two unions involved.

Talks took place on Monday and will continue Tuesday.

Both boards sent notices home with students Monday night, telling them to refer to the school board websites and Twitter for the latest updates.

If employees were to walk out, it’s not clear exactly how many students would be affected by possible school closures.

Both of Toronto’s school boards use a number of different bus companies for their routes.

The Toronto District School Board wrote on its website: “The strike could affect approximately 730 students from across the TCDSB and 3,460 in the TDSB. However, since bus services are shared and integrated through the Toronto School Transportation Group (TSTG), the final number of students adversely affected may be greater.”

Wages are said to be one of the key factors in the labour dispute and the unions involved largely affect the east and north parts of the city.
