ATU Local 113 has become aware of a safety notice issued by the Commission which appears to say that members are required to complete an online COVID-19 screening form in advance of the start of their shift.

Our position is that members are entitled to choose to complete the screening form at home or when they arrive at work, and should have the option of completing the form electronically or on paper.

We have demanded that the Commission respect members’ options to choose where and how they complete any screening. In the meantime, Local 113 will support any member who chooses to exercise her/his option to complete the COVID-19 screening form when she/he arrives at work or demands the option to complete the form on paper.

In solidarity,

Carlos Santos
President, ATU Local 113
