TTC union loses bid to block COVID-19 vaccine policy

The TTC's largest union has lost its bid to block a COVID-19 vaccination policy that could see thousands of employees placed on unpaid leave.
Earlier this month, the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 113 asked the Ontario Superior Court to grant an injunction that would prevent the mandatory vaccine policy from being implemented for a period of up to 60 days.
At the time, the union argued that the pause would give an auditor time to make a decision on a grievance filed over the policy.
In a news release issued Saturday, ATU confirmed the court denied their request.
"We are very disappointed with the court's decision to deny our request to suspend operation of the TTC's mandatory vaccination policy," President of ATU Local 113 Carlos Santos said in a statement.
