City of Timmins Provides Update on Timmins Transit Labour Disruption

The City of Timmins has confirmed that a one-hour meeting has been scheduled with the Ministry of Labour’s conciliation officer for Friday, October 10, 2025, to discuss the union’s concerns. The City has had no formal communication from CUPE Local 1544 since Timmins Transit staff walked off the job on September 28, 2025.

A conciliation officer is appointed by the Ministry of Labour to help facilitate discussions between the union and employer in an effort to move toward resolution.

If a tentative agreement is reached through conciliation, it would require ratification by Timmins City Council before plans for a return to work can be finalized.

At this time, all Timmins Transit services remain suspended including conventional bus, paratransit service, and the Northern College Express.

The City understands the impact this disruption has had on residents, riders, and students and remains committed to achieving a fair agreement that ensures the sustainability of public transportation services.
