It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the passing of Brother Shane O’Leary yesterday.
The Executive Board and members of Local 113 convey our deepest condolences to his family, friends and the Local 508 family. He will be missed by his Local, the ATU community and the labour movement that relied on his tremendous leadership and service.
Rest in Peace, Brother O’Leary.
In sorrow and in solidarity,
Executive Board
Amalgamated Transit Union Local 113
ATU Local 113 is proud to endorse Kevin Rupasinghe for City Councillor in the upcoming Scarborough Southwest by-election.
Kevin is a strong advocate for transit funding, transit safety, and our union.
We encourage all members who are eligible to vote on November 30!
ATU Local 113 is pleased to announce our endorsement of Kevin Rupasinghe for the upcoming Scarborough Southwest City Council by-election. We are confident Kevin will fight to keep transit public, protect jobs, and invest in TTC service.
The last several years have been extremely difficult for the TTC. The pandemic was a difficult time for public transit, but chronic underfunding and weak leadership made it even worse. In Mayor Olivia Chow, we have a strong advocate for public transit and an ally to workers – but she needs supporters on City Council to restore and improve service so that we can rebuild trust with TTC riders. We are endorsing Kevin Rupasinghe for City Council because he is the only candidate in Scarborough Southwest with a vision for the future of the TTC and how we can build a sustainable city where everyone has access to affordable, frequent, and reliable public transit.
On November 30, please vote for Kevin Rupasinghe. He is the advocate that TTC workers and riders need today.
We stand with our Brothers and Sisters at ATU Local 1320 as they advocate for a living wage for our fellow transit workers.
Use the link below to send an automated email to Peterborough City Council and their Mayor and show your solidarity.
ATU Local 113 would like to wish our members a happy Diwali!
May the festival of lights bring you and your family health, happiness, and success.
