"Today, the world lost an icon with the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the longest-reigning sovereign. The Queen was a constant presence in many people’s lives for over 70 years, including as Canada’s head of state. She had a deep and enduring love for Canadians. Our thoughts are with our more than 38,000 ATU members in Canada, the people of the United Kingdom, and the Royal Family in mourning this loss.
"Queen Elizabeth was a stateswoman whose service to the world, which she carried out with dignity and sacrifice, will forever remain an important part of our history. She led with grace and a steadfast commitment to duty and service. The ATU joins with people all around the world in recognizing her extraordinary and remarkable life and legacy."
— ATU International President John Costa
