| Who we are |
|
Local 1415 is proud to be apart of an organization representing over 30,000 transit workers across Canada. Since the ATU's inception, we have never backed down from the goal of improving wages, benefits and workplace conditions for our members.
In an era defined by downsizing and deregulation, joining our local is the most important step a driver can take towards job security. Together as one, we will work hard to secure and maintain the salaries and benefits that previous transit workers have fought for.
We hope that you enjoy visiting our new site. If you have any questions or comments, please send us an e-mail and a representative will get back to you shortly.
In solidarity,
ATU Local 1415

When it comes to reducing greenhouse gases, the Amalgamated Transit Union will lead the way. No union is better positioned to benefit from and assist in the fight against global warming than the ATU. And no solution is more practical and sensible than expanding mass transit systems so workers in the U.S. and Canada are not spending two hours a day in their automobiles stuck in traffic gridlock - while pumping more and more dangerous carbon emissions into the atmosphere.
The world faces the greatest environmental crisis in human history. We have to slash greenhouse gas emissions and we've got to do it quickly. In the meantime, while many of the suggestions in this issue will help, they will not be enough to provide a quality life for our children and grandchildren.Today, in every city in North America, there are mass transit systems that can make a profound difference immediately. The blogs are full of comments and commentary on how mass transit is an answer. Here are some interesting and enlightening facts by the numbers: |
