ATU SERVES CITY OF SASKATOON 48-HOUR STRIKE NOTICE

The Amalgamated Transit Union, 615 (ATU) has served the City of Saskatoon 48-hour strike notice, meaning citizens can expect service disruptions as early as Sunday, September 18, 2016 at 5:00 p.m.

“We are disappointed to receive strike notice since we have been bargaining all week and have made significant progress,” says Marno McInnes, Director of Human Resources.  “We have narrowed the gap between the parties and just provided the Transit union with another offer.”

The City has a responsibility to protect taxpayers’ dollars and the benefits of all City employees. In that spirit, the City has worked hard at presenting a fair and competitive offer to the ATU.
