CUPE Local 2: Powering the TTC

Welcome to Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Local 2, a union representing approximately 700 workers at the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC).

Our members install and maintain the electrical, signal, and communications systems that transit riders rely on every day. 

Right now, CUPE 2 is in bargaining with the TTC.

That means we are negotiating for a fair contract that recognizes the value of our work and helps protect the transit services Toronto depends on.

As bargaining continues, we’ll share updates on what’s happening and what it could mean for TTC service.

Sign up below to receive updates from us.

We are the Electricians, Substations Electricians, Radio Technicians, Cable Technicians, Signal Technicians, Relay Technicians, Transit Control Technicians, SCADA Technicians, Overhead Linespersons, and Power Systems Controllers at the TTC.
