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

Sisters and Brothers,

We received unfortunate news today that an ATU Local 113 member, a subway operator from the Danforth Division who drives the SRT out of McCowan Yard, 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 Tuesday, May 26 from approximately 6:00 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. The member was tested on Sunday, May 31 and received the positive test result on Wednesday, June 3.

This diagnosis marks the 48^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 58.

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
