Remember Our Fallen

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the ATU mourns the deaths of those 220 members who put their lives on the line as essential frontline workers during this global crisis. We send our deepest sympathies and condolences to their families, extended families, friends, their Locals, and all who knew them.
