Another positive case at Barrie Transit has the union and the City of Barrie asking for their workers to get the vaccine as soon as possible.
There are now seven positive cases among Barrie Transit staff, according to their union, which is up from six reported on Sunday. Affected drivers are isolating at home.
Cory Trew, president and business agent for the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 1775 in Barrie, said on Monday there are upwards of 200 employees within Barrie Transit, including approximately 175 drivers and maintenance workers who are represented by the union.
While seven may not be a large number out of 200 workers, Trew still wants protection immediately for the people the union represent.
