First Transit and ATU 1724 Bargaining Committees met on June 24.

Further negotiations are planned for July 8, 9th, and 20th.

Due to COVID 19 These meetings are held using electronic means. Despite the technological challenges, good progress was made.

Language regarding driver license suspension was absent from our collective agreement, it was rewarding to develop language through Bargaining.

Some issues that will be discussed in upcoming sessions are :

• Qualification / Training Opportunities
• Overtime and WODO Language
• Adverse Weather Days
• Human Rights, Bullying and harassment, Respectful Workplace

Although COVID 19 stalled negotiations, your Bargaining Committee is committed to working hard on a Collective Agreement that respects all ATU 1724 members.
