ATU Local 113 - We Move Toronto

We're Amalgamated Transit Union Local 113. Our 8,000-plus members are involved in the operation and maintenance of services related to public transit in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. You can find a short history of our union here.

Every year, the ATU Local 113 hockey team plays the NHL Oldtimers for charity. Over the years we've raised over $350,000 for MS Research. In addition, Local 113 members raise thousands of dollars for other causes such as the United Way. (The Multiple Sclerosis Society is the official charity of the Amalgamated Transit Union).

In addition, individual members are heavily involved in their communities as coaches, leaders for youth and many, many groups. Our hats are off to our member volunteers.

We'd like this Web site to serve as a resource for our members and others interested in our union. Please enjoy the site!
