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

Sisters and Brothers,

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

I spoke with the member who is recovering at home. We all wish them a full and quick recovery.

The member’s last shift was on Sunday, May 17 from 10:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. The member received the positive test result on Friday, May 22.

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

This diagnosis marks the 44^th ATU Local 113 member who has tested positive for COVID-19. Ten 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 54.

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

In solidarity,

Carlos Santos

President, ATU Local 113
