What’s New at ATU?

December 2017 edition

Happy holidays, sisters & brothers! Welcome to the December edition of ATU 757’s e-newsletter for members, with updates about what’s happening inside your union, in the world of organized labor, and around our region. If you have a feature you’d like to see in a future edition, please contact ATU 757 staff!

• 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:
  • Review the Tentative Agreement and Proposal Summary
  • Check out our Frequently Asked Questions about the new contract
  • Call the Union Hall at (503) 232-9144 (please note: we will be closed on December 22nd and December 25th in observance of Christmas)
• 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!
