Still looking to get your G2? Be prepared to wait.

The DriveTest strike is conts or testing. Pressure is mounting on both sides to reach an agreement, with a Facebook page with 8,000 members leading the way.

During Tuesday’s question period at Queen’s Park, Andrea Horwath, Member of Provincial Parliament for Hamilton Centre for the New Democratic Party, asked why Premier Dalton McGuinty was ignoring new drivers.

Serco DES, owner of DriveTest, bought the rights to provide driver testing from the province in 2003. The employees, represented by United Steelworkers Union Local 9511, went on strike Aug. 21 over issues of job security and seniority.

On Nov. 2, DriveTest tabled a final offer to the Union.

“DriveTest has made significant concessions in order to end this strike and end the harm it is causing the public,” Paul Dalglish, managing director of DriveTest, said.

While the union is recommending members reject the offer, they are still putting it up for vote this week.

Drivers whose G1 licence has expired or those who required a written examination or road test during the strike have been given an extension until July 1, 2010.

Most other drivers are able to renew their license through the Driver and Vehicle Licence Office.
