Offices taken over by ATU officials
Bob Kinnear has been removed from his job as head of the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU), according to media reports.
The Local 113 president found out Feb. 3 early in the morning that a trusteeship had effectively taken over management of the Toronto-based union offices. Seventeen workers lost their positions, according to a report.
The move comes on a reported attempt for the Canadian union to break away from its American counterpart.
So far, there have been no official statement released by the unions ATU or ATU Canada.
