ATU supports Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). Public transit provides an alternative mode of transportation instead of driving under the influence.
Please join the Amalagamated Transit Union Local 1505 as we attend the Manitoba Federation of Labour in marking the National Day of Mourning on April 28, 202
ATU 1505 will continue lobbying the City and Government for a safe transit system for our members and passengers until changes are implemented to address and resolve these concerns.
ATU1505 was invited by the Mayors office on November 17, 2022 to meet to discuss strategies to improve Transit safety in response to our letter sent on November 7, 2022
The following letter was sent to Premier Heather Stefanson with a request immediate action to be taken for the safety of Transit workers and passengers in light of the recent string of assaults in early November.
The following letter was sent to Mayor Gillingham and City Council to request immediate action for the safety of Transit workers and passengers after a sexual assault in the Southwest Rapid Transitway and an assault on a Transit driver over the weekend.
The Canadian Union of Public Employee’s (CUPE) Local 500 could potentially take strike action on Wednesday, October 12th, 2022, at 12:00 am.
In such an eventuality, ATU Local 1505 will be honouring CUPE Local 500’s picketing lines and will not cross them until CUPE 500 allows us to do so. Due to this, we anticipate delays around the garages and major transit service disruptions. Please ensure to govern yourself accordingly and adjust your commute time as needed.
ATU 1505 was proud to sponsor an ad in the Philippine-Manitoba Historical Society, Inc's, “Balik-Tanaw: Martial Law at 50” (Looking Back: Martial Law at 50)
– a special event commemorating the 50th anniversary of the declaration of martial law in the Philippines on September 23, 2022.
Congratulations to the winner of the 2021 Transit Bus Operator of the Year Award, Jeff Chudy, awarded for his exemplary customer service and safety record!
