ATU Approves Transit Pact

09/07/2025

I am writing to advise that further to my email of August 30, 2025, the tentative agreement between the City and the Amalgamated Transit Union, Local 279 (ATU 279) was put to the ATU membership this weekend for a ratification vote.

I can advise that members of ATU 279 voted to ratify the new three-year collective agreement with the City of Ottawa. As such, the next step will be for City staff to present the agreement to City Council for Council’s consideration of ratification

This is a release from the City of Ottawa:

On behalf of the Labour Relations team, I am seeking to bring this agreement to Council’s attention for an in-camera session at its meeting of September 24, 2025, along with an update on other collective bargaining matters.

Sincerely,

Stuart Huxley
