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

Sisters and Brothers,

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 – they worked a split shift from 6:00 a.m. to 6:45 p.m. The member began feeling symptoms on Saturday, April 11 and received the positive test result on Thursday, April 16.

I’ve spoken to the member who is recovering. We wish them a full recovery.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your shop steward or board member for more information.

This member’s diagnosis marks the 16^th ATU Local 113 member who has tested positive for COVID-19. Two TTC staff have also tested positive.

Please practice social distancing as much as possible before, during and after your shifts – and stay home if you feel unwell. As a reminder, medical notes for sick leave have been suspended until further notice.

In solidarity,

Carlos Santos
President, ATU Local 113
