Transit Cape Breton buses aren’t running this morning due to a labour stoppage.

An email from Cape Breton Regional Municipality said Transit Cape Breton and Handi-Trans aren’t currently operating due to labour action by CUPE 759, the union representing outside workers in the municipality.

It also said solid-waste facilities are closed, and while waste collection is underway, that will cease as the disposal sites aren’t open. 

Residents are asked to remove their waste from the curbside until the next collection day.

Few other details are available but officials said more information will follow.
