ATU Local 113 Bus Operator at Mount Dennis Tests Positive for COVID-19

Sisters and Brothers,

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

The member’s last shift was on Sunday, April 26 from approximately 8:50 p.m. to 4:40 a.m. The member developed symptoms on Thursday, April 30 and was tested on Tuesday, May 5. They received the positive test on Wednesday, May 6.

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

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

This member’s diagnosis marks the 32^nd ATU Local 113 member who has tested positive for COVID-19. Seven 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 39.

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
President, ATU Local 113
