ATU Local 113 congratulates Olivia Chow on her victory in Toronto’s Mayoral By-election.
This is a turning point in our city’s history. For years we have been told to do more with less. TTC ridership is in a death spiral after a decade of steady decline, underfunding, and service cuts. We were told that better was not possible.
Over the last few weeks, our union along with Torontonians have watched Olivia prove why she was meant to lead this city. After nine years under poor leadership, it is due time for this city to experience true change.
Today, the people of Toronto showed that they believe the city can do better. They voted for investments in service, a more accountable government, support and respect for workers, and a safe, caring, and affordable city. The fate of our city looks a lot more promising now.
“Olivia Chow will be a great partner for public transit and public transit workers,” said ATU Local 113 President Marvin Alfred. “We look forward to working with her to make public transit safe and dependable again!”
Together we can restore the TTC, improve service to riders, and keep Toronto moving.
We know Olivia’s leadership can make this happen – and ATU Local 113 will be there to help.
If you are eligible & haven’t already done so, get out and vote! Polls close today at 8 PM.
Today, we encourage you vote for Olivia Chow (#25 on the ballot). Make sure your friends and family vote too!

ATU Local 113 President Marvin Alfred along with union representatives attended a rally for mayoral candidate Olivia Chow this evening.
Representatives included ATU Local 113 board members Brian Connelly, Matthew Chau, Aleem Tharani, Ross Zambri, Shop Steward Mohsin Patel and members Corrie Branch, Mike Marges, and Zain Khurram.
“Olivia Chow has always stood up for working people, bringing her experience and compassion to fight for good jobs, good public transit, and good public services,” said ATU Local 113 President Marvin Alfred. “She is the only candidate who will make Toronto more affordable, safe, and caring. Most importantly, it’s how much Olivia knows about the issues that are impacting Toronto that make her the best choice for mayor to lead Toronto.”
“When I met with Olivia to talk about running for Mayor, it was refreshing to hear how well she knew the issues facing riders, transit workers and managing and operating the TTC. She knows this because she rides transit daily and has been invested in making it better for all. This knowledge and commitment are what matters in this election. Toronto deserves a mayor who will ensure a responsible City Council that is truly accountable to Torontonians,” he said.
Together we can get Olivia Chow elected as Mayor, fix the TTC, and keep Toronto moving. Let’s get out there and make this happen.
