The Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) is the largest labor union representing transit and allied workers in the U.S. and Canada. With over 200,000 members, the ATU fights for the interests of its hard-working members and promotes mass transit, including bus, rail, and ferry transportation. Founded in 1892, the ATU encompasses a diverse range of professions, including drivers, mechanics, maintenance workers, station agents, clerks, and municipal employees.
ATU Locals, present at the grassroots level, provide support and representation to members, understanding their workplace culture and issues. The union works to ensure fair wages, benefits, and job security for transit workers, advocating for their rights on the job. Additionally, the ATU engages in political advocacy through its ATU-COPE program, recognizing the impact of public budgets and legislation on the transit industry and the livelihood of its members.
