ATU observes the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women in Canada

ATU Local 1505 has temporarily lifted the overtime ban as we have presented a 3rd tentative agreement to our membership. Members are voting on the agreement this week and we will have results on Friday December 8, 2023.

Transit workers face a high risk on the job, especially during challenging times like a pandemic, and there is a concern that they are not always fairly compensated for the increased risk they undertake. The concern revolves around working conditions and safety, as there is a prevailing sentiment that the current management is not adequately addressing or taking seriously the employees' apprehensions in these areas. Adding to that, no benefit increases.
