Unifor and PWTransit sign tentative agreement


OSHAWA, ON, Oct. 19, 2018 /CNW/ - The Unifor bargaining committee representing 73 transit workers has reached a tentative agreement with PW Transit.

"Unifor is a union for transit workers," said Jerry Dias, Unifor National President. "Our members do important work in the regional transit network and deserve a fair contract."

The committee worked late into the night to secure the tentative agreement. Unifor Local 222 represents transit drivers and maintenance workers at PWTransit servicing Beaverton, Brooklin, Cannington, Newmarket, Port Perry, Sunderland, Uxbridge, Whitby, and parts of Curtis, Oshawa and Pickering.

More details will be released after the ratification vote on October 21.

Unifor is Canada's largest union in the private sector, representing 315,000 workers in every major area of the economy. The union advocates for all working people and their rights, fights for equality and social justice in Canada and abroad, and strives to create progressive change for a better future.
