Transit workers in Toronto work day in and day out to make sure our community can move. Immigrants who come to our city rely on transit to start a new life. Businesses and schools rely on customers, workers and students to commute. It is workers who operate and maintain the vehicles and it’s time to stand united with them for a strong union contract.

Our members and Political Action Committee were out in full force distributing campaign flyers to members of the public. This included a QR code that redirects to our public petition, which has received almost 5,000 signatures!

We thank you for your support to date & ask that you sign in solidarity with Local 113 and transit workers.

I STAND WITH TORONTO TRANSIT WORKERS – Action Network

ATU Local 113 stands in solidarity with OPSEU/SEFPO Local 535, the workers of the Art Gallery of Ontario.

They made the decision to strike after being presented with an offer that failed to meaningfully improve key issues that were important to them.

Our members joined them on the picket line yesterday & continue to support them in their efforts to reach a fair agreement.

ATU Local 113 would like to wish a Happy Easter to those who celebrate!

“Local 113 – thank you for what you do by keeping Toronto moving.” – John Costa, President, ATU International.

Today & everyday we are celebrating our members hard work and dedication!

We had a blast hosting our annual charity hockey tournament this past Saturday evening with Toronto Maple Leaf’s alumni squaring off against our very own ATU Local 113 All Stars.

It was a great night celebrating our community, while also raising money for an important cause.

We look forward to seeing you this evening at the Canlan Sports Arena.

Join us this evening (March 16th) for our annual charity hockey tournament!

The ATU Local 113 All Stars will take on the Toronto Maple Leafs Alumni at the Canlan Sports Arena. Tickets are $5.00 each and will only be sold at the door. All proceeds will go to support @mscanadaofficial 

We held our third training session and mobilized over 60 additional members this week. ATU International organizers have helped train this high-energy group, and they are united to win and ready to go!
