ATU Local 757: Building Fraternity while Securing Integrity in the Workplace
Amalgamated Transit Union Local 757, representing transit workers and EMT's in Oregon and South West Washington.
"To promote the general cause of humanity and brotherly love, and secure the blessings of friendship, equality and truth.” ATU Local 757 believes in upholding these tenets while supporting the following basic rights for its members and workers:
- An 8-hour work day
- A 5-day work week
- Minimum wage
- Pensions
- Workers’ compensation
- Vacations and other benefits
The values in the ATU preamble remain as important today as they were when they were written over 114 years ago.
Global corporations are making every attempt to drive working people’s wages, benefits and working conditions down. These conditions makes union values more important than ever. The power of unions in motion is one reason corporations attack unionization in every country. That's why it's more important than ever for union members to speak up about union values.
- Unions fight to have workers treated like assets, not like interchangeable resources or throwaway parts.
- Unions fight for families. It is hard to balance the demands of work and family so unions fight for family leave laws and child care. They fight for fairness and justice in the workplace so that a family’s welfare cannot be threatened by capricious management action, favoritism or bullying.
- Unions fight for the entire community. Unions brought America the middle class and now unions are on the front lines fighting to keep the middle class. They know a healthy country must invest in the future and so unions fight for family wage jobs, universal education and health care for everyone.
- Unions provide an opportunity for people to practice democracy in their daily lives. Union members vote on who leads them, on their wages, benefits, and working conditions, on who they are going to defend and how their money is spent. No other organization in American life provides so many opportunities for meaningful democratic action.
