Proud to Be ATU

Day of Action for Transit

The ATU joined other transit labor unions in sponsoring a “Day of Action” in support of transit and transit labor in Washington, DC, on May 16. Led by the Transportation Department of the International Association of Machinists, the event brought together thousands to rally for increased funding for U.S. transit, and passage of the Employee Free Choice Act. Democratic presidential candidates Sen. Hillary Clinton, Sen. Joe Biden, Rep. Dennis Kucinich, and New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson were among those who spoke at the event.
