MIDDLESEX CENTRE, ONT. The president of the union representing London Transit Commission (LTC) drivers says workers are upset about a double standard when it comes to masking. Mike Gauthier of Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 741 said in a statement maskless passengers are putting other passengers and drivers at risk of COVID-19. “Meanwhile, the LTC is excessively enforcing mask rules when it comes to transit workers. We have to be masked at all times, wear shields and glasses, and maintain six feet during rest and eating periods. The hypocrisy stinks and the workers are angry.” He says supervisors are only enforcing masking policies for drivers, while passengers are allowed to break the rules and go maskless.
