ATU Local 113 Executive Board Members Join Olivia Chow Campaign Press Conference

ATU Local 113 Executive Board members attended Olivia Chow’s mayoral campaign press conference, where public transit was a key focus of the discussion. Mayor Chow spoke about keeping fares affordable and increasing funding for Toronto’s public transit system.

For ATU Local 113, being present and engaged in these discussions is essential. Decisions about transit funding directly affect our members, the quality and reliability of the service we provide, and the safety of the workers who keep Toronto moving.

Adequate public transit funding is vital to maintaining a safe, reliable and accessible system. It supports proper staffing, preventative maintenance, modern equipment, effective training and the safe working conditions employees need to deliver dependable service every day. ATU Local 113 will continue to advocate for our members and ensure that worker safety and working conditions remain central to conversations about transit policy and funding.
