Today in Washington, DC, International President John Costa attended a meeting of the Transportation Trades Department (TTD), AFL-CIO Executive Council, where he serves as an Executive Committee Member.
The meeting covered important legislative and political issues that impact the ATU and other transportation unions and what our fight ahead looks like.
The ATU has been a member of the TTD, America’s largest transportation labor federation, since its inception in 1990. The ATU works closely with the TTD and our transportation affiliates to expand our influence with elected officials across the U.S. and advocate for policies that strengthen our industry.
Also at the meeting were TTD President Greg Regan, TTD Secretary-Treasurer Shari Semelsberger, and labor leaders from across the country, including AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler and Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who addressed the committee and reflected on the remarkable work that we’ve been able to accomplish over the past four years. Costa thanked the Secretary for his leadership and legacy.
