Headlines from ATU 757 and around the union world
- TriMet workers have a contract! On November 28th, ATU 757 members voted to ratify the Tentative Agreement between the Union and the company, with 94.7% of voters in support. On December 13th, TriMet’s Board of Directors also voted to ratify the Tentative Agreement, making it the official contract for TriMet’s front-line workers.
- It will take TriMet some time to print, bind, and distribute the contract as the familiar Working and Wage Agreement booklets. In the meantime, here’s where to find more information about what the new TriMet contract means for you:
- Our 2017 Annual Santa Party was a heck of a fun time – you can check out some highlights below, or head on over to our website to take a look at photos courtesy of Retired Member Chapter Vice President Paul Headley!
- We’ve started a new section of our website dedicated to trainings – it’s our new one-stop shop for training videos, materials, and more! If you’re an officer or thinking about becoming one, or just want to learn more about how to be an engaged union member, check out our new training site, and stay tuned for more to come!
