The two latest confirmed cases mark the 17th and 18th ATU Local 113 members who have tested positive for COVID-19. Two TTC staff have also tested positive.

ATU Local 113 continues to demand the TTC provide all members with masks and other PPE. The TTC must provide supplies to any member who chooses to wear PPE on the job.

Please practice social distancing as much as possible before, during and after your shifts – and stay home if you feel unwell. As a reminder, medical notes for sick leave have been suspended until further notice.

In solidarity,

Carlos Santos
President, ATU Local 113
