A tweet from the TTC also said two on-duty employees were attacked in what it called a ‘despicable swarming/assault’
Police in Toronto say two transit workers have been injured following a report that close to a dozen youths attacked them on a bus Monday afternoon.
A tweet from the TTC also said two on-duty employees were attacked in what it called a “despicable swarming/assault.”“Our members are disgusted with the repeated and escalated acts of violence against transit workers,” said Marvin Alfred, President of ATU Local 113 in a news release. “I encourage anyone with information to help police find those responsible for this attack so they can face consequences for their behaviour,” Tory said.
Monday’s statement from the transit union says workers shouldn’t have to go to work “in fear of their lives” and that the attacks have psychological effects that last after physical wounds have healed.“Listen to the individuals who are your eyes and ears on the ground. It’s getting out of hand and public transit needs to be safe again for our workers and passengers,” the union’s statement concluded.
