Statement from TTC CEO Rick Leary on collective bargaining with ATU Local 113

The collective agreement between the TTC and ATU 113 expired on March 31. At this point, we are in ongoing negotiations with ATU 113 and we are hopeful that we will reach a fair, negotiated deal.

We are aware of ATU’s statement, and we are pleased to see they are committed to staying at the bargaining table with us to reach an agreement and avoid job action.

We value the work all our 17,000 employees do to deliver safe and reliable service to millions of riders every week – the employees who are members of ATU 113, the TTC’s largest union partner, are a critical part of our operations and this relationship is important to us.

We will continue to negotiate in good faith and we look forward to ongoing talks at the bargaining table.
