A lot of passing vehicles along the busy intersection showed their support by honking their horns.

“It signifies a lot of public support, before this, I don’t a lot of people knew what conductors went through on their jobs and because of the media coverage it’s been great.”

Federal Labour Minister Patty Hajdu (Ha-doo) says the government will not intervene at this time to respect the collective bargaining process but is expected to meet with both sides this weekend.
