Reformation of the ATU Local 757 Black Caucus: A New Era of Empowerment

The ATU Local 757 Black Caucus has recently undergone a significant reformation, emphasizing the formation of a strong brotherhood and sisterhood dedicated to empowering all working men and women within the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU). This initiative aligns with the ATU’s core mission to support workers across North America, regardless of their background or identity.

The ATU’s various Conferences, Councils, and Caucuses play a pivotal role in advocating for workers’ rights and fostering a sense of unity among members. They are integral to the union’s efforts to create an inclusive and supportive environment for all. The reformation of the Black Caucus within Local 757 is a testament to the union’s commitment to inclusivity and representation.

Looking Ahead

As the newly reformed Black Caucus moves forward, it aims to build on the momentum generated by this first meeting. The focus will be on creating opportunities for growth, advocating for fair treatment, and enhancing the overall well-being of all members. The reformation of the Black Caucus is a significant step toward a more inclusive, equitable, and empowered ATU Local 757.
