ATU 113 asks for penalties for individuals who commit acts of violence on public transit

Once again, violence against public transit workers continues on the TTC.

It is time for action. We are asking for stiffer penalties for those who commit crimes against transit workers and passengers, including banning them from using public transit.

We are asking those in power at all levels of governments, including the City of Toronto, to address the issue of the underhoused and individuals who have mental health issues who are using public transit as a form of housing. This contributes to why our workplace is becoming increasingly unsafe.
