At ATU LOCAL 1321, we recognize that our strength lies not only in our membership but also in the collaborative relationships we foster with various partners and organizations. Together, we work to advocate for the rights of transit workers, promote public transportation, and enhance the communities we serve.
As a proud member of the Amalgamated Transit Union, we are part of a larger network of transit unions across the United States and Canada. This affiliation strengthens our voice and provides us with resources and support to effectively advocate for our members.
We collaborate with several organizations to amplify our efforts and create a broader impact in the transit sector:
Local and State Labor Organizations
We partner with local and state labor unions to strengthen our collective voice in advocating for workers’ rights and fair labor practices. These partnerships allow us to engage in joint initiatives that benefit all workers in our community.
Community Organizations
Our partnerships with community organizations help us address the needs and concerns of transit users and workers alike. Together, we promote public transit initiatives, safety campaigns, and community outreach programs.
Government Agencies
We work closely with local, state, and federal government agencies to influence policy decisions that affect the transit industry. By collaborating with these entities, we aim to ensure that the interests of transit workers are represented in legislative discussions.
Educational Institutions
Through partnerships with educational institutions, we provide training and development opportunities for our members. These collaborations enhance workforce skills and prepare transit workers for the challenges of the evolving transit landscape.
By collaborating with our partners, ATU LOCAL 1321 enhances its capacity to advocate for transit workers effectively. Together, we can address systemic issues, promote safety standards, and work towards a future where public transportation is accessible and efficient for all.
We encourage our members to engage with our partners and participate in collaborative initiatives. Your involvement is essential in driving positive change within the transit industry and our communities.
