An historic and decisive @ATUlocal113 - Toronto, ON, victory for workers’ rights to privacy, security of the person, and for facts over junk science in drug testing case. #OurVoiceOurPower #canlab @OFLabour #1u #UnionStrong toronto.citynews.ca/2026/07/13/ttc…

It’s Déjà vu in Jackson, Mississippi, with ATU International President John Costa on the ground as our Local 1208 JTRAN members went out on strike against contractor MV Transportation for the second time in less than 2 years. “We know MV Transportation and its anti-union tactics well. Once again, they have shown that all they care about is making a profit on the backs of workers. Our members are on strike because MV Transportation refuses to treat them fairly and continues to engage in unlawful activities,” said Costa. “They are paying inexperienced scabs $50 per hour to drive buses, threatening safety and service. Why not come to the table to get this deal done to end the strike now? Until then, we will Hold the Line just like we did in 2024.” The Mississippi Labor community and allies joined Costa on the picket lines to show solidarity with our JTRAN members. These are workers who keep Jackson moving. Every route. Every stop. Every rider who depends on the bus. This isn’t workers versus riders. It’s workers fighting for their community. Because they ARE the community. We will stand with Local 1208 until MV Transportation comes to the table and gets this done. #OurVoiceOurPower

Another ATU strike, we will hold the line and win! #OurVoiceOurPower wlbt.com/2026/07/12/jtr…

Our Local 1208 JTRAN members are united. MV can prevent this strike by bargaining in good faith and halting their unlawful and illegal treatment of our members. #OurVoiceOurPower #1u @AFLCIO wjtv.com/news/local-new…

Our Local 1415-Banff, AB, Brewster members ratcheted up their contract fight at their practice picket. They are strong and united. #OurVoiceOurPower #canlab youtu.be/lgsrmWIZKhQ?si…

Another senseless attack on one of our members. Enough is enough, workers and riders deserve to be safe on public transit systems. #NotOneMore #1u #canlab #labour #TTC @ATUlocal113 torontosun.com/news/local-new…

We are saddened to hear about this MTA bus accident that injured a Local 1300-Baltimore, MD, bus operator, multiple riders, and others in vehicles involved in the crash. We hope for a quick recovery for our bus operator and all those hurt. Our thoughts and prayers are with our members at Local 1300 and all those impacted by this accident. #1u wusa9.com/video/news/loc…

A big organizing win for the ATU as more than 65 Care Calgary Accessible Transit Operators voted to join our 583-Calgary, AB. Kudos to these workers and Local 583 organizers for this victory. #OurVoiceOurPower

Happy Canada Day from the CAN-AM Conference in Windsor, Ontario! “What better way to celebrate than right here in Canada surrounded by ATU members from both sides of the border, united by the same fight for safe transit, fair wages, and dignity on the job,” said Costa. “Today we celebrate Canada and the workers who keep it moving.” Joyeuse Fête du Canada à tous nos membres canadiens!

Happy Canada Day from the ATU!  #canadaday

The numbers don't lie. ATU members across North America are fighting back and winning. CAN-AM 2026 kicked off in Windsor, Ontario, and International President John Costa's message was clear. Our Locals are showing up and winning despite the odds, on the picket line, at the bargaining table, and in the halls of government, on both sides of the border. This year alone, there have been strikes and strike authorizations across five Locals, strong new contracts from Texas to Alberta to Ontario, and hundreds of new members organized into the ATU family, from school bus workers in Hamilton, ON, to airport shuttle workers in Kenner, LA. Our political work is paying off, too. Chicago Locals helped secure $1.5 billion in transit funding. The BUILD America 250 Act passed the U.S. House, and Bill C-14 expanded legal protections for transit workers across Canada. As Costa reminded the room, "The issues we face, whether it's safety, fair wages, or working conditions, don't stop at the border. In fact, I don’t believe in borders. These are universal challenges. They require a united front and collaborative solutions. That’s why we’re here today. That's what the CAN-AM has always been about. One union, one fight!”

With the record high temperatures and humidity across North America this week, please use these tips to stay safe on the job. #heatwave #1u #canlab #UnionStrong

The CAN-AM Conference has officially kicked off in Windsor, Ontario! Tonight’s opening reception brought together ATU members from both sides of the border, with International President John Costa in the house welcoming members from across the U.S. and Canada. This is what fighting for transit workers looks like in person. We’re just getting started. Stay tuned for updates all week.
