Winnipeg, MB – The City of Winnipeg has learned that employees represented by the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 1505 have voted to reject the City’s contract offer.

“While the result of the vote is disappointing, the City remains committed to finding a solution that is fair and reasonable to all parties, including ATU members and Winnipeg taxpayers,” said Michael Jack, Chief Corporate Services Officer.

The City of Winnipeg is committed to continue negotiating in a fair and reasonable manner with ATU, and is hoping for a successful conclusion to collective bargaining that won’t result in any disruption to transit services for the thousands of users that rely on it every day.

Winnipeg Transit carries over 170,000 riders each weekday and employs approximately 1,100 bus operators and about 250 maintenance staff.
