Town of Oakville and Unifor reach new collective agreement
Last night, Town Council voted to ratify a four-year agreement with Unifor Local 1256, the union representing our Oakville Transit drivers and maintenance employees. This followed the ratification by Unifor members on Monday, January 27, 2025.

“Thank you to the bargaining teams for the town and the union for their hard work in achieving a fair and reasonable deal that provides certainty and stability for our workers and taxpayers. This deal respects the important work our transit employees do for the residents and businesses of Oakville.”

Oakville Professional Fire Fighters Association (OPFFA)
The Town of Oakville and the Oakville Professional Fire Fighters Association (OPFFA) will commence collective bargaining in mid-February 2025. It has been two years since we last collective bargained with OPFFA. The Town of Oakville looks forward to meeting with the OPFFA and achieving a negotiated collective agreement that reflects the essential role our fire personnel play in our community.
