Kudos to Rep. Chris Deluzio and Rep. Summer Lee for advocating for federal funding to boost and expand public transit in Pittsburgh. This investment is good for our Local 85-Pittsburgh, PA, members, our riders, and the community.

Pittsburgh Regional Transit is getting more than $80 million in federal funds to help replace its 30-year-old light rail vehicles.

It’s time to pay these essential Local 1724 Hospital Transfers members a living wage and fix the safety problems before someone gets hurt.

When Wilson Molina starts up his hospital transfer bus Monday morning, he doesn’t know what to expect. The air conditioning might not work, he says. The heaters could be broken.

Mission accomplished! More than 40 ATU Local Presidents/Business Agents and Financial Secretaries from across the U.S. and Canada came together for ATU’s innovative New Officer training in Washington, D.C. this week.

At the closing banquet, International President John Costa addressed the Local officers about their important roles, the challenges they face, and the critical skills they learned. “It’s been a great week at the training, learning from our staff and making connections with other Local officers,” said Costa. “You have an important role at your Local. I know it’s a difficult job. And remember, you can’t do this job from behind a desk. You have to get out and meet with your members and get them involved. Thank you for all you do, and know that the International is here to support you.”

Also in attendance at the training were International Executive Vice President Yvette Trujillo, International Secretary-Treasurer Ken Kirk, and International Vice Presidents Mark Henry, Amanda Sawyer-Turner, and Michael Cornelius. Connections were made, solidarity was strengthened, and leaders were empowered.

Thank you to our newest Local officers for fighting for the rights of our members!
