Autoport Eastern Passage workers prepare for potential strike action
Dear Members,
The bargaining team at Autoport Eastern Passage has been actively engaged in discussions with our employer since September 28, 2023. Our existing collective agreement concluded on December 31, 2023.
We're excited to share that we've reached a preliminary agreement for a new collective bargaining contract for nearly 1,000 of our members at CN Transportation Ltd. (CNTL). This group includes our dedicated owner-operator truck drivers across Canada, proudly represented by Unifor National Council 4000.
Unifor is presently in negotiations with CN Transportation Ltd. (CNTL) on the renewal of a new collective agreement on behalf of approximately 700 Unifor members who are contracted as dependant owner-operators with the company. CNTL is a subsidiary of the Canadian National Railway Co.

Workers at the Thunder Bay Alstom plant were shocked to learn that the federal and Ontario governments failed to officially allocate funding needed to purchase 80 subway trains for the TTC Line 2 operations and expansion. This failure caused the TTC to cancel its Request for Proposals (RFP) to purchase these vehicles. All levels of government have been actively aware of the urgency to fund this replacement for years.
