On July 21, 2014, the City of Guelph locked out 205 unionized Guelph Transit workers after the union representing them met to vote on a tentative agreement reached last week.

According to news sources, the current lockout could carry on until mid-November. Many Guelph residents including the elderly, those with physical disabilities, students, and those on fixed incomes, rely heavily on public transportation.
