Toronto’s transit system knits our city’s many neighborhoods into one of the world’s most vibrant urban areas. It is an important goal of ATU Local 113 to go beyond simply connecting people and places but also reaching out and staying in touch with those we serve. For over a century, we’ve been attending local community events, meeting with community leaders and recognizing the contributions of others who, like us, serve our great city.
ATU Local 113 has been the voice of public transit workers – fighting for fair wages, safe working conditions, respect and dignity at work and job security. Beyond advocating to protect workers’ rights, we also campaign for riders, ensuring sustainable investment in public transit, and better transit for all.
Social Justice & Diversity
The challenges that we are presented with, in our time, are an evolution and extension of the same issues that we have always been fighting. Social Justice is the same principle that lies at the very foundation of ATU Local 113 that drives us to fight for the rights and dignity of public transit workers. By using this framework of social justice, we can focus our efforts on fixing the systems – so that they offer equal access to tools and opportunities.
