Saskatoon Dragonfly drivers are continuing their protest for a fifth consecutive day, with many claiming that the company has fired dozens of workers since the strike began on May 8, 2026. The drivers gathered outside the company's headquarters, holding signs that read 'They don't need drivers, they want slaves' and 'Respect us or lose us.'
Drivers speak out
One driver, who wished to remain anonymous, said that the working conditions have become unbearable. 'We are not just numbers; we are people who need fair wages and respect,' he stated. Another driver, Maria Lopez, added that the company has been ignoring their demands for better pay and benefits.
Company response
Dragonfly management has not yet issued a formal statement regarding the protests, but sources close to the company indicate that they are willing to negotiate. However, drivers remain skeptical, citing past broken promises.
Impact on the community
The strike has affected many residents who rely on Dragonfly for transportation. Some have expressed support for the drivers, while others are frustrated by the lack of service. 'I understand their fight, but I need to get to work,' said local resident John Smith.
What's next?
The drivers plan to continue their protest until their demands are met. They have called for a meeting with city officials to mediate the dispute. The situation remains tense as both sides await a resolution.
