Big things are happening behind the scenes to preserve ATU’s history. International President John Costa visited the History Factory in downtown D.C. today to discuss one of the most important projects we’re working on: preserving and chronicling the story of the ATU as we prepare to move to our new headquarters at the iconic 21 Dupont Circle. “Our members have been on the front lines of the labor movement for generations. We’re making sure our decades of organizing, advocacy, and wins for transit workers and the labor movement don’t just live in filing cabinets. Our stories deserve to be told, and we’re committed to telling them,” said Costa. Joining Costa were International Executive Vice President Yvette Trujillo, International Secretary-Treasurer Ken Kirk, former ATU General Counsel Robert Molofsky, and key ATU staff. More updates coming soon!

This past weekend in Calgary, AB, more than 45 Shop Stewards from ATU Alberta Locals 569-Edmonton, 583-Calgary, and 987-Lethbridge, participated an a ATU’s Shop Steward training. This program aims to equip Shop Stewards with the skills and knowledge they need to effectively represent their fellow members and our Union. International Executive Vice President John Callahan and ATU Canada President John Di Nino attended the training. Conducted by ATU International staff, the interactive training focused on the important role of Shop Stewards within their Local and discussed leadership, organization, and communication. Featuring hands-on exercises, attendees learned their legal rights, bargaining tactics, grievance procedures and handling, and other duties of the job. It was a valuable weekend of learning for our dedicated Shop Stewards, and we thank all those who attended this important training. Together, we will keep fighting for fair wages, safer working conditions, and the dignity all workers deserve. #OurVoiceOurPower

Local 1775 Barrie Transit Workers Vote 96.5% for Strike as MVT Refuses to Bargain in Good Faith #canlab @OFLabour

We are heartbroken to learn of the serious crash involving one of our members, a Local 587-Seattle, WA, Jefferson Transit bus driver. Our member was doing what transit workers do every day, safely moving members of our community from one place to another, when a vehicle crossed the centerline and struck his bus head-on. In the aftermath, he had the presence of mind to call 911 before being airlifted to a hospital where he remains in critical condition. Our hearts are with our member, his family and Local 587 members during this incredibly difficult time. We ask that everyone keep him in their thoughts and prayers as he fights to recover. We also extend our deepest condolences to the family of the young driver who lost her life, and we wish a full recovery to all others injured in this tragic crash. king5.com/article/traffi…
