ATU Local 134

ATU Local 134 is pleased to announce that a tentative collective agreement has been reached with the Employer. This achievement reflects months of difficult and constructive negotiations focused on protecting and improving the working conditions of our members. None of this would have been possible without the political support of West Vancouver Mayor Mark Sager and the extraordinary leadership demonstrated throughout the process by Municipal Manager Scott Findlay. We also thank all Local 134 members for their patience, solidarity, and continued support. Your bargaining committee is recommending a YES vote. Ratification Vote:

Amalgamated Transit Union Local 134 would like to sincerely thank the Vancouver and District Labour Council and Susanna Allevato Quail for the excellent and extremely informative “Introduction to Arbitration” course delivered over the past two days. ATU Local 134 President / Business Agent Cornel Neagu was pleased to participate in this valuable training opportunity focused on arbitration, labour relations, and the continued defence of workers’ rights. The experience, practical knowledge, and expertise shared throughout the course are greatly appreciated. In solidarity,

The ATU General Executive Board (GEB) gathered in Chicago this week for a full slate of reports and updates from across our Union. International President John Costa chaired the week-long meeting, joined by International Executive Vice President Yvette Trujillo, International Secretary Treasurer Ken Kirk, ATU Canada President John Di Nino, and ATU’s International Vice Presidents representing members from Coast to Coast across the United States and Canada. Over the course of the week, the GEB held informative discussions to set a course for the future of our Union. The GEB heard presentations from every department, including Organizing and Campaigns, Research, Legal, Communications, Health and Safety, and Workforce Development. The sessions reflected the full scope of the ATU's work on behalf of the 200,000+ workers we’re proud to represent. The week didn't end in the boardroom. The GEB also visited the Pullman National Historical Park in Chicago, along with Illinois State Treasurer Michael Frerichs, which was the site of the 1894 Pullman Strike and where the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters was organized beginning in 1925. A. Philip Randolph built a union out of the largest Black workforce in America and won a landmark labor agreement in 1937 that was as much a victory for civil rights as it was for workers. Standing in that space, the weight of that history was impossible to ignore. "The civil rights movement and the labor movement were never two separate fights," said Costa. "A. Philip Randolph knew that, and standing on that sacred ground, we felt it. ATU carries that legacy with us every single day. Thank you to our Chicago hosts, Locals 241 and 308, for your hospitality, and to our leadership for spending the week doing the significant work of this mighty Union.”

ATU Local 134 extends its sincere condolences on the passing of retired International Vice President Bob Hykaway. Bob was a true friend of our Local, always supportive of our members and actively involved in many of our contract negotiations over the years. His commitment to trade union values and solidarity will be remembered with deep respect. Rest in peace, Bob. 🇨🇦🕊️ @ATULocal1756 @ATULocal689 @ATULocal987 @atu_canada @ATUComm @atu_canada @ATU1505 @ATULocal689 @LairdLeod @BillTieleman @NathanDavidowi1 @vancouverdlc @LabourStartCanE @bcgeu @CanadianLabour @rankandfileca @paulgfinch @MoveUPTogether @LabourStartCanE @amyjudd @TheTyee @GlobalBC @CityNewsVAN #canlab #1u @bconnolly00 @chaddockcostelo @carie_ldb @MovementYVR @PresidentCLC @PoliticsFan05

International President John Costa was in Toronto today, and the timing couldn’t have been better. Fresh off Local 1775 Barrie’s successful strike aversion, President Costa stopped by the ATU Canada office, then headed to TTC Wilson Car House to see our members in action, joined by Local 113 President/Business Agent Marvin Alfred and his executive board. With 200+ workers keeping that rail yard and bus yard running every single day, it was an incredible visit. Last stop was a personal congratulations to Local 1775 President/Business Agent Cory Trew on a victory that belongs to the whole membership. Joining Costa were also Local President/Business Agents and Officers from across Ontario, ATU Canada President John Di Nino, and International Vice President Manny Sforza. “This visit reminded me of what ATU is all about,” said Costa. “Whether it’s the members keeping buses and trains running at Wilson Car House or Local 1775 fighting for what they deserve in Barrie, this union shows up. That’s something to be very proud of.”

Today we honour the dedication, professionalism, and resilience of all Transit Operators and Transit Workers who keep our communities moving every day. In West Vancouver, ATU Local 134 proudly recognizes the operators, shuttle drivers, maintenance employees, and all transit workers whose daily commitment ensures safe and reliable public service for our community. Behind every route, every schedule, and every safe arrival, there are workers whose effort often goes unseen but never unnoticed. Public transit moves because transit workers make it move. ATU Local 134 stands proudly with every member today and every day. In solidarity,
