Transport Workers Union
The Transport Workers Union of America (TWU) represents over 155,000 members across various sectors including airlines, railroads, transit, and utility services. Founded in 1934 by Michael J. Quill and other dedicated organizers in the NYC subway, the TWU is committed to advocating for the rights and livelihoods of working people from diverse backgrounds and confronting the challenges posed by new technologies.
With a focus on improving safety standards and securing fair wages, the TWU actively addresses issues such as workplace violence and the need for funding in transit operations. The union's dedication to fighting for its members is reflected in its victories, including recent contract negotiations and initiatives aimed at enhancing worker protections and promoting job growth in the U.S. Generated from the website
