Members of Unifor Local 100 and National Council 4000 have voted to accept a new three-year deal with VIA Rail.
“Our bargaining committees were principled and smart with their demands for a fair collective agreement for the current times. They had the unwavering support of our members across VIA Rail,” said Lana Payne, National Secretary-Treasurer. “I commend Council 4000 and Local 100 committees for their determination and resolve. They defeated the concessions tabled by the employer and delivered on their commitment to our members. Public and safe passenger rail service remains Unifor’s top priority.”
