Leadership Stands with Political Allies

WHO WE ARE

The Transport Workers Union of America, AFL-CIO represents nearly 140,000 members across the airline; railroad; transit, universities, utilities, and services; and gaming sectors.

AIR

TWU has bargained industry-leading contracts for working people across nearly every class and craft in the aviation industry, from flight attendants, to Title I&II mechanics and related, stores, baggage handlers, gate agents, customer service agents, flight training crew instructors and dispatchers, as well as workers covered under service contracts at several U.S. military bases and other government properties.

Transit

The Transit, Universities, Utilities, and Services Division is the union’s largest, representing bus and train operators, mechanics, engineers, cleaners, and ticket agents at some of the nation’s busiest public transit systems, as well as school bus drivers, para-transit and tour bus operators, and bridge and tunnel agents.

What our members are saying

When people understand that they can participate in their union and that they have a say in what happens, only good things can happen.

When I started with the company, we were not represented by a union. Now that I am represented, I feel a lot more secure in my job. I feel like I have benefited. I have someone looking out for me.
