• Thunder Bay Bombardier workers 'doing everything' they can to meet TTC streetcar quota: union president

• Streetcar production 'dramatically increased' at Thunder Bay Bombardier plant, but issues remain

He said the short-term layoffs are due to a shortage of parts on certain sections of the streetcar assembly and employees have the option of making up the lost wages through overtime, or spreading out the days off over five pay periods.
