The International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) mourns the sudden passing of Scott Bateman, Unifor National Rep for Ottawa and Industry Director for Road Transportation, who died on 29 January 2025.

Scott was a true force of nature in the union world, who dedicated his life to the fight for justice, dignity and the rights of working people, particularly transport workers. 

From his work as a national service representative to his role as Industry Director for Road Transport for Unifor, Scott was loved and respected by everyone he worked with. 

“Scott’s career, spanning decades, was defined by his unwavering commitment to improving the lives of road transport workers in Canada and beyond,” said Stephen Cotton, ITF’s General Secretary. 

“For Scott, his work was not just a job – he cared deeply. Just a few days ago he was meeting with dairy processing workers from across Canada to talk about bargaining priorities. He was extremely proud of the work he did with the ITF and remained dedicated to internationalism and global solidarity – a testament to his steadfast activism and kindness.

“He was deeply loved by his comrades at Unifor and by union activists across the world. His loss will be felt keenly by us all. On behalf of the ITF, we extend our deepest condolences to Scott’s family, friends, our Unifor colleagues, and all those whose lives he touched.”
