ATU Local 113 will be at Queen’s Park on Friday, November 4, 2022, noon onwards, in support of CUPE education workers.

We invite members to join us if you are available.

Meeting point will be at the north-east corner of University and College, at the subway station entrance.

There is a crisis at hand, not only for CUPE’s education workers but also for all Labour Unions.

This a rapidly developing and urgent situation and we need to mobilize and present a united front – a voice for all workers.

Today, Executive Board Member, Brian Connolly was out canvasing with York South-Weston candidate Chiara Padovani! We encourage all members to vote in this year’s municipal election on October 24^th.

ATU Local 113 President Marvin Alfred joined CUPE members, Yolanda McClean, Secretary-Treasurer, CUPE, Laura Walton, President of Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Ontario School Boards Council of Unions (OBSCU) and Fred Hahn, President, CUPE, at today’s rally in support of their fight for fair wages.

Toronto has the choice to vote for a Mayor, Councillors, and School Board Trustees that will work hard to improve this city. We cannot risk essential services, such as transit, being contracted out and privately owned. Public transit needs to remain public, and that is why ATU Local 113 had endorsed and continues to support candidates who are advocating for this too. Our members were out canvassing for candidates across the city in the lead up to next Monday’s election.  Members are encouraged to read about their local candidates, ask them questions, volunteer, and most importantly – get out and vote on October 24^th!
