ATU Local 113 Subway Operator at Danforth Division Tests Positive for COVID-19

Sisters and Brothers,

We received news today that a TTC Subway operator from the Danforth Division has tested positive for the coronavirus (COVID-19).

The member’s last shift was on Thursday, April 9. The member was tested on Saturday, April 18 and received the positive test on Friday, April 24.

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

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

This member’s diagnosis marks the 25^th ATU Local 113 member who has tested positive for COVID-19. Four 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 29.

Please practice social 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
