VIA Rail has reached tentative agreements with Unifor’s Council 4000 and Local 100, the union representing roughly 2,400 VIA Rail employees working in its stations, on board its trains, in its maintenance centres, the VIA Customer Centre, and administrative offices.
As such, a strike is adverted and trains will run as scheduled (as they await ratification).
These tentative agreements are subject to a ratification vote by VIA Rail’s Unifor members. Once ratified, the collective agreements will be retroactive to January 1, 2022 and in effect through December 31, 2024.
VIA Rail continues to offer customers the opportunity to make changes to their travel plans without service fees for any departures prior to July 31, 2022.
