City of Timmins and CUPE Local 1544 Reach Second Tentative Agreement

The City of Timmins and CUPE Local 1544, representing Timmins Transit staff, have reached a second tentative agreement following continued negotiations today.

The tentative agreement will be brought forward to CUPE Local 1544 members for a ratification vote. If ratified by the membership, the agreement will then be presented to Timmins City Council at its Tuesday meeting for approval.

Once the agreement is finalized, the City of Timmins and Timmins Transit will begin working on a plan to reinstate transit services as soon as possible.

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