Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in Canada, ATU Canada has been working with our Locals to protect the health and safety of our members who are essential workers on the frontlines of this crisis. We are demanding additional urgent action to ensure employers and elected officials implement comprehensive plans to protect our members on the job and reduce the risk of exposure to the riding public.
