Original Toronto Star caption: The strike is on. These pickets took up early duty today at Toronto Transit Commission offices at Yonge St. and Eglinton Ave. The 5;700 members of the Amalgamated Transit Union went on strike after breaking off negotiations with the commission. Some 600;000 Metro-area residents are affected by the walkout. This is the first major strike of the Metro transit system in 22 years. Metro Chairman Paul Godfrey said last night that the strike is likely to be a prolonged one.
