Winnipeg, MB - Late Friday the City of Winnipeg and the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU), Local 1505, representing Winnipeg Transit Drivers and Maintenance Workers, reached a tentative agreement.
The Offer of Settlement must still be ratified by both the ATU membership and City Council.
The ATU voluntary overtime time ban has been lifted. Winnipeg Transit expects service to operate normally again soon, once the backlog of bus maintenance is dealt with.
