Prairie Intercity Transit Fact Sheet

The Saskatchewan Transportation Company (STC) operated in Saskatchewan since 1946. It was shut down by the Saskatchewan Party government on May 31, 2017, with only two months notice. One year later, Greyhound pulled out all but one of its routes in Western Canada on October 31, 2018, with only 3 months notice.  The STC closure resulted in the loss of over 200 unionized, low-carbon jobs. The Greyhound closure saw around 800 more of these jobs lost. The STC and Greyhound also provided cost effective freight services for small businesses, farms, health care, and libraries.

Gender Equity Report and Recommendations

The ATU Canada Gender Equity Report identifies widely-felt concerns of ATU Canada women regarding barriers to inclusivity and equity in their workplaces and their union. This initiative seeks to understand these issues in order to address and remedy them. The Report articulates key themes and patterns gathered from members’ participation in the Gender Equity Survey (2019) and related communications. It aggregates member insights and suggestions, academic research, and best practices from Canadian labour unions to make recommendations for actionable next steps for ATU Canada to create a Gender Equity Strategy. In so doing, ATU Canada’s leadership has an opportunity to gain forward momentum, to improve women's position in ATU Canada, and to build power for the union.
