Day 1 of the 30th AFL-CIO Constitutional Convention is here! International President John Costa started the morning as an Executive Committee member of the AFL-CIO Transportation Trades Department (TTD) to advocate for our members.
Next, Costa headed to the AFL-CIO General Session, where he was honored to be re-elected as an AFL-CIO Vice President. Representing ATU on the convention floor alongside IP Costa were our elected Delegates and Alternate Delegates from Locals across the United States.
“Working people are under attack, and we’ll continue to fight like hell alongside them,” said Costa. “When our 200,000 ATU members show up with millions of other union siblings, that’s a powerful message to anyone who thinks they can come for our rights and our livelihoods. We won't back down.”
Congratulations, IP Costa, President Liz Shuler, and Secretary-Treasurer Fred Redmond on your re-election! The movement is in this room in Minneapolis, and we’re just getting started. Day 2 starts tomorrow!
