If you’re taking Saskatoon City Transit Sunday there are a few changes and cancellations to keep in mind.

It’s part of ongoing job action between transit workers and the city.

Members of the Amalgamated Transit Union are refusing to work overtime as contract talks with the city remain at an impasse.

Pension changes have been a major sticking point throughout negotiations.

Workers have been without a deal for four years.
