ATU Local 113 Bus Operator at Malvern Division Tests Positive for COVID-19

Sisters and Brothers,

We received unfortunate news today that an ATU Local 113 member, a bus operator from the Malvern Division, has tested positive for the coronavirus (COVID-19).

I spoke with the member today who is recovering at home. I wish them a full and quick recovery on behalf of all ATU Local 113 members.

The member’s last shift was on Friday, May 15 from approximately 4:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. The member was tested on Saturday, May 16 and received a positive test result on Sunday, May 17.

Please contact your shop steward or board member for more information.

This diagnosis marks the 39^th ATU Local 113 member who has tested positive for COVID-19. Nine TTC employees who are not ATU Local 113 members have also tested positive, bringing the total number of TTC employees who have tested positive for COVID-19 to 48.

Please practice physical distancing as much as possible before, during and after your shifts – and stay home if you feel unwell.

In solidarity,

Carlos Santos
