We are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of a Local 416 member from the Solid Waste Unit earlier today.

On behalf of Local 416 and all our members, we extend our heartfelt condolences to the family and loved ones of the worker who lost his life while on the job.

Local 416 is committed to working closely with the Ministry of Labour, investigators, police, and the City of Toronto to understand what happened.

We have reached out to the family to offer our support. Our thoughts remain with the family, their loved ones, and all Solid Waste Management colleagues during this
difficult time.

We will share further information as it becomes available.

The LMDC joins with longtime affiliates Hamilton & District Labour Council, CUPE 3903 and others in demanding the immediate release of Chris Smalls. A founding member and former president of the Amazon Labor Union, Smalls was seized along with other solidarity activists by forces of the zionist entity when their humanitarian aid vessel, the Handala, was sailing in international waters off the coast of Palestine. We are outraged but not surprised to learn that Smalls, the only Black person on board, was subjected to more brutality than the others.

The LMDC is proud to have been endorsed by Brother Smalls and can do no better than to repeat his words,

"People have to understand that unions have a responsibility to protect, to be the shield for the working class. And that doesn't exclude the Palestinian people... an injury to one is an injury to all"
