Talks Resume with Instructors

DriveTest and the union representing staff at the driver's licence offices are going back to the bargaining table next Wednesday.

DriveTest estimates that four thousand people a day have not been able to get their driver's licence since the staff went on strike two weeks ago.

While there have been no pickets at the Fort Frances office, the Mowatt Avenue location has been closed since the start of the labour dispute.

The province has made several arrangements to reduce the public impact, including extending the expiry date of any licences that require a test for renewal.
