VIOLENCE ON THE TTC CONTINUED

Libby Znaimer is now joined by John Di Nino, National President of the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Canada.

Yesterday, TTC CEO Rick Leary provided comment on the recent wave of violence on the transit system saying that he is planning for more uniform visibility and upping the security presence. Meanwhile, John wants a national task force to be convened to address "crisis levels" of attacks. He wants the task force to look into whether additional mental health funding, housing supports, harsher penalties, greater police presence and de-escalation training for staff is needed amid the violence. He comes on to talk all about it.
