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

Sisters and Brothers,

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

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.

The member’s last shift was on Thursday, April 30 from 4:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. at Davisville where they were on open report. They were called to drive from 6:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. The member began feeling symptoms on Saturday, May 2 and was tested on Sunday, May 3. They received the positive test on Tuesday, May 5.

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

This member’s diagnosis marks the 30^th 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 37.

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
