SEIU Local 2 says Dexterra has failed to apply the collective agreement at some TTC locations and is instead using non-union subcontractors to perform bargaining unit work. These practices have resulted in serious employment standards violations, including workers being paid below minimum wage and being paid under the table. SEIU Local 2 has filed an Unfair Labour Practice complaint with the Ontario Labour Relations Board and is now calling on the TTC Board to ensure its contractor complies with its legal and contractual obligations. Specifically, the union is urging the TTC Board to: <ul type="disc"><li>Require that Dexterra Group immediately begin self-performing all cleaning work on behalf of the Toronto Transit Commission in accordance with its obligations under the SEIU collective agreement and employment laws.</li><li>That the Toronto Transit Commission conduct regular audits including a review of payroll records to ensure that Dexterra Group is compliant with its legal obligations. </li></ul> What: Rally outside TTC Headquarters Who: SEIU Local 2 members and supporters When: TODAY - Thursday, July 2, 2026, 10:00am to 11am Where: 1900 Yonge Street, Toronto For more information, contact: Daniel Tseghay | Media Contact, SEIU Local 2 <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=0jtHgnAu67z4bzTQti_xb9WMwkfw-CFxiPXM_Gj9nKG7t-IWSOOU_vWPjfkGK9nHvgRDDX_1Z-p7vGc-qvCwW5f2SQZtEyQu7SiuVdt5xoA=" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="dtseghay@seiulocal2.ca">dtseghay@seiulocal2.ca</a> | 403-560-5906 <img alt="" src='https://ml.globenewswire.com/media/ZWM3NTJkMTItMjlhMi00ZDAzLWE2N2ItMWY4MDVjNmY0NDJhLTExMDA1ODAtMjAyNi0wNy0wMi1lbg==/tiny/SEIU-Local-2.png' referrerpolicy='no-referrer-when-downgrade' />
