Workers with the Canadian Hearing Society continue to strike and don’t see a deal coming anytime soon.

Picket line captain for CUPE local 2073, Allan Wareham says there are a number of impasses that caused the strike like wage freezes for four years, no contract for four years and looming cuts to health benefits.

There are 227 counsellors, literacy instructors, speech language pathologists, audiologists, interpreters and others on strike across Ontario.

Wareham says they service a lot of elderly people in the city and all others who use the services are being held in limbo.

He says he hopes for a quick resolution but isn’t sure if one will come.
