Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU)

Day 2 of the 30th AFL-CIO Constitutional Convention brought the heat. International President John Costa was front and center, taking the stage to deliver the credentials report to delegates from unions across the country, including our very own ATU leaders.

Sessions throughout the day highlighted the AFL-CIO Sports Council and focused on two of labor’s most urgent priorities: Organizing to Win and Building Worker Power. Real workers telling real stories about what’s at stake for working people everywhere.

The evening brought hundreds of union members together at U.S. Bank Stadium for the Celebration of Solidarity. Minneapolis and the labor movement showed out! Day 3 starts tomorrow.

Day 1 of the 30th AFL-CIO Constitutional Convention is here! International President John Costa started the morning as an Executive Committee member of the AFL-CIO Transportation Trades Department (TTD) to advocate for our members.

Next, Costa headed to the AFL-CIO General Session, where he was honored to be re-elected as an AFL-CIO Vice President. Representing ATU on the convention floor alongside IP Costa were our elected Delegates and Alternate Delegates from Locals across the United States.

“Working people are under attack, and we’ll continue to fight like hell alongside them,” said Costa. “When our 200,000 ATU members show up with millions of other union siblings, that’s a powerful message to anyone who thinks they can come for our rights and our livelihoods. We won't back down.”

Congratulations, IP Costa, President Liz Shuler, and Secretary-Treasurer Fred Redmond on your re-election! The movement is in this room in Minneapolis, and we’re just getting started. Day 2 starts tomorrow! AFL-CIO
