HAMILTON, September 14, 2022 – John Di Nino, President of ATU Canada, is in Hamilton today to endorse Andrea Horwath for Mayor.

“Andrea is a champion for working people. She understands what workers face every day, and she never stops fighting to make life better for them and their families.”  

Di Nino points out that Andrea has a long-standing, collaborative relationship with the ATU:

  • She has always made time for transit professionals and has always respected ATU as a partner.  
  • She advocated for the ATU during the pandemic for operational dollars, PPE, investment in public transit, and advocated for transit workers being on the frontlines serving communities not just in difficult times but always.

“Andrea has an extensive knowledge of the transit sector, from operational funding challenges to the need for safe, reliable, and affordable transit.  She has always addressed these concerns and she is committed to continue expanding public transit in Hamilton.”

“Andrea is a voice we can depend on for communities, social justice, affordable housing, climate change and public transit. This is why ATU Canada endorses Andrea for Mayor of Hamilton.”
