Any decent leader would be hanging their head over this.
And this is happening in a province that spends less per person than anywhere else in the country. Disgraceful. #ONPoli

This week leaders from ATU Locals 279, 946, 966, 1320, 1557, 1767, and 1760 from Ontario and Quebec met in Markham, ON, for an Advanced Arbitration Training to sharpen their skills and learn best practices for preparing grievances and handling arbitrations.
The 4-day training covered the grievance and arbitration process and teaches our Local leaders how to investigate, draft, and prepare grievances for arbitration. The interactive training includes breakout exercises to conduct mock arbitration hearings, including practicing direct and cross examination.
Attendees were joined by International Vice Presidents Manny Sforza and Ken Wilson, along with ATU Canada President John Di Nino. Thank you to all who participated and continue to sharpen their skills to fight for the rights of our members. #OurVoiceOurPower #canlab

Council hiked transit fares and declined to hire more bus drivers during budget talks yesterday.
ATU Local 1320 president Cory MacLeod said he was disappointed the fare hike wasn't accompanied by investments to increase service and attract new riders.

Congratulations John Di Nino! Your work has helped transit workers from coast to coast to coast.
Across the country, we're seeing workers stand together to organize for the better!
The NDP is with you every step of the way in this fight.
Congratulations to John Di Nino on his re-election as ATU Canada President!
"It's an honour and privilege to continue to serve the largest transit union in this country," said John Di Nino.

You have GOT to be kidding me.
#Metrolinx is an opaque bureaucracy of consultants managing consultants. It has tripled its number of VPs from 2018 to 2023. It has a comms/marketing dept of 400+ ppl.
That’s relentless progress for insiders. Transit gets the shaft.
Ontario’s provincial transit agency says it is making “relentless progress” to finish the years-delayed Eglinton Crosstown LRT in Toronto but still has no opening date.
