More than 200 Local leaders logged on today for two well-attended Executive Board Trainings with International President John Costa and International Executive Vice President Yvette Trujillo.
Costa opened both sessions with a moment of silence for our Local 308-Chicago, IL, Brother Julian Mobley, who was tragically killed on the job. We will never forget him.
“From the epidemic of attacks on our members to automated vehicles, to transit funding fights and anti-union politicians, our Union is facing many challenges,” said Costa. “As Executive Board members, you play an important role for your Local. I’ve been in your shoes serving as an Executive Board Member. As leaders, you have a serious responsibility and duty to your membership. You must organize, strategize, and think outside the box.”
Board members dug into their roles under the ATU Constitution and General Laws, Local Union oversight and fiduciary responsibilities.
Strong Locals start with strong boards!
