Dump Truck Driver Stabbed During Protest In Vaughan Ont.

York District Police said they were called to Huntington and Langstaff Streets, where members of the Ontario Trucking Association (ODTA) participated in a rally as part of ongoing work action. “A member of the ODTA (Ontario Dump Truck Association) was stabbed, stabbed and rushed to hospital. What happened today was completely unacceptable. “No one should be threatened or attacked while protesting,” the ODTA said in a statement. Police said the victim, a man, suffered unknown injuries. No suspicious information or other details of the investigation were immediately available. More than 1,500 landfill drivers stopped working this week to take part in a labor action, arguing that the construction companies they employ should pay them more to offset increases in gas and truck maintenance costs. “The ODTA is cooperating with the police investigation and is praying for the recovery of our member who was injured today.”
