CUPE Local 416

We are deeply saddened by the tragic news that a CUPE Local 79 City of Toronto traffic agent has lost their life after being struck by a truck while on duty in Toronto’s east end this morning.

On behalf of CUPE Local 416, we extend our heartfelt condolences to the worker’s family, friends, colleagues, and everyone in the community affected by this devastating loss.

We stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters at CUPE Local 79 as they mourn the loss of a fellow City worker.

On behalf of Toronto Civic Employees Union CUPE Local 416, we congratulate Mayor Olivia Chow, and all newly elected members of Toronto City Council and Toronto School Boards. Thank you to all candidates and residents who participated productively in our democracy.

As Toronto moves forward, we look forward to working with elected leaders to build a city that delivers strong, reliable public services, supports good jobs, invests in its communities, and recognizes the essential contributions of the public workers who keep our city safe, clean and moving.

Strong public services. Strong communities. Stronger together.

Toronto’s water belongs to the people of Toronto.

New polling shows 60% of Torontonians are concerned about the potential privatization of Toronto Water.

Our members work around the clock to deliver safe, clean drinking water to our city. That responsibility should never be put at risk.

Public water. Public accountability. Public trust.

Toronto’s water is not for sale. 💧
