Today in Trenton, NJ, ATU International President John Costa joined New Jersey State AFL-CIO President Charles Wowkanech to meet with New Jersey Assembly Speaker Craig J. Coughlin to discuss critical issues impacting our members, NJ riders, and communities across the Garden State. Among the issues discussed was proposed legislation on microtransit. Costa expressed our Union’s concerns that the state does not privatize public transit and that any microtransit service creates good union jobs for our members and safe and reliable service for our riders.
Joining Costa was International Vice President Ray Greaves, ATU New Jersey State Council Chair Orlando Riley, and ATU State and Local Political Coordinator Emma Cleveland, Our Union is always advocating for the rights of our members and riders.
