Please join ATU 569 this Friday marching from Edmonton Tower to City Hall – see below for details
Rally in support of DATS Members
The work of a DATS operator is every bit as valuable as that of a conventional operator. It’s that simple. But the City of Edmonton chooses to discriminate against these workers by paying them less. They won’t say why, but it feels like the discrimination against disabled people is visited on those who serve them. Whatever the case, IT’S TIME TO STOP THE DISCRIMINATION.
ATU will hold a rally this Friday, March 03 at 11:30 in support of fair and equal treatment for our DATS Sisters and Brothers.
What: Rally to support DATS Operators When: 11:30 on Friday March 03 Where: Edmonton Tower SW Corner 101 ST. at 104 AVE.
We need a great showing to send a clear message. If you’re on your split or not otherwise at work, please take a bit of time to show your support in getting these ATU members the equality they deserve. Come join us at Edmonton Tower on Friday.

Due to an oversight in the Winter 2023 edition of the Pipeline Newsletter, the Local 488 Election Committee would like to make the following clarification:
If you have a registered email address with Local Union 488 you will be sent an e-ballot ONLY.
You will not be given the opportunity to request a mailed ballot as was mentioned on page 18 of the Winter 2023 Pipeline Newsletter, affording you the opportunity of receiving 2 ballots.
Please accept our apologies for any confusion created by the article published in the newsletter.
