FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ATU Local 615 Members Ratify First Battlefords Transit Agreement — 100% in Favour

Battlefords, Saskatchewan – October 29, 2025



The Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 615 is proud to announce that members at the Battlefords Transit System have unanimously ratified their first-ever collective agreement — voting 100% in favour.

“This is a historic moment for our Local and for the Battlefords,” said Darcy Pederson, President and Business Agent of ATU Local 615. “Our members stood together to achieve a fair and transparent agreement that values their work and strengthens public transit for the community.”

The three-year agreement includes steady wage increases, clear seniority and job posting language, and strong health and safety provisions under The Saskatchewan Employment Act. It establishes fairness, stability, and respect — setting a solid foundation for future rounds of bargaining.

“This vote shows the power of unity,” Pederson added. “We’re proud to deliver an agreement that everyone can stand behind.”

You know, life throws curveballs, right? Mine came in the form of, well, a whole lot of weight loss. I'm talking 300+ pounds. Imagine that for a second. It wasn't just the physical change, though. It was the whole mental shift that came with it. Body image issues, dysmorphia... it's a whole thing. And it made me realize how much we all carry around, you know?
