Striking Transit Workers of Local 561

Our Friends from First Transit have been walking the picket line for months now and hard to say if there is an end in sight any time soon.  We know if the shoe was on the other foot, we would want our other Locals to step up and help support the fight for fair wages, decent benefits, and safe/healthy working conditions.  Therefore our Local is pleased to announce a $1,000 donation to the Local to help support those striking members.

While this event has passed we do want to encourage our members that if time permits any support you can give those striking workers while out on the line would be so very much appreciate.  Details of upcoming events can be found at:

First Transit – CUPE 561

If we hear of any events happening in Chilliwack we would love for our members or members of the public to come out and show their support so we can get those drivers back behind the wheel, and the passengers back on board.

In Solidarity,

CUPE 411 Executive
