Happy Labour Day!

by Stephanie Gomez
ATU Local 113 is proud to march with all workers and lead the Labour Day parade in Toronto. As we celebrate our 125th anniversary, we acknowledge that this year has been a history-making year for us.
Having successfully defended our workers’ Right to Strike after over a decade-long fight against the provincial government, it is clear that our work is not done. Together, we will continue to fight for dignity at work and fair wages.
Local 113 proudly honours workers everywhere and across all sectors. We celebrate the workers who have empowered progress in our society by overcoming many challenges. Through our solidarity, we will continue to honour those who paved the path for us, by ensuring a path for future workers.

On behalf of ATU Local 113’s Executive Board, shop stewards, and members, we invite you to join us at the Labour Day Parade and celebrate the many achievements of the Labour Movement.

See you on September 2!

ATU 113 hosts Annual Golf Tournament in support of Multiple Sclerosis Research

by Stephanie Gomez

The ATU Local 113 annual golf tournament helps create awareness and raises funds for much-needed resources for multiple sclerosis (MS) research in Canada and the USA. Canada has one of the highest rates of multiple sclerosis in the world, with an estimated 90,000 Canadians living with the disease. Over the years, Local 113 has raised approximately $2 million for MS research.

We had a great turnout at the golf tournament held on Sunday, August 18, 2024, at Woodington Lake Golf Club in Tottenham, Ontario, with over 140 participants and over 20 volunteers and staff working to make this event a success. As we do every year, the popular event was sold out within a few weeks of opening registrations.

Marvin Alfred, President, ATU Local 113, said, “The ATU 113 MS Golf Tournament is a flagship charity event for us. The funds raised assist the MS Society of Canada’s research work. We want to thank our members and sponsors for their generous and continued support in making this a highlight event of the summer. We will continue our fundraising efforts to support research work addressing this debilitating disease and we look forward to medical advances that will help those impacted.”

ATU Local 113 thanks our Black Tee sponsors Ursel Phillips Fellows Hopkins LLC (UPFH), ATU International, Trillium Sales, RCR Legal Services, as well as our Gold Tee sponsors Wasatch Global Investors and Triovest Realty Advisors for contributing to our success in this fund-raising effort.
