Transportation Security Officers protect the flying public & worked without pay through the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. Now, the Department of Homeland Security wants to repay them by illegally terminating AFGE's union contract with TSA. Our statement: ttd.org/news-and-med...

House passage of the Protect America's Workforce Act is a step towards reversing one of the most significant attacks on labor rights in U.S. history. Thanks to Rep. Jared Golden & Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick for leading this bipartisan bill to restore union rights for 1.5 million federal workers.

A government shutdown should not doom our national aviation system. We joined labor & industry organizations of the Modern Skies Coalition in urging Congress to insulate aviation workers and the flying public in the event of a funding lapse. ttd.org/news-and-med...

After two years, Communications Workers of America (CWA) Piedmont Airlines employees are still negotiating living wages and benefits from their employer. These customer service, ramp & baggage agents serve the flying public everyday and deserve a fair contract NOW. action.cwa.org/letters/take...

After a workplace injury, SMART-TD railroader David Garringer will undergo leg amputation. His employer, CSX, made $5.25 billion in operating profits last year, yet medical costs for his wheelchair will have to come out of pocket. Join us & donate: www.smart-union.org/brother-lose...

As a new member of the Safety21 Advisory Council, TTD President Greg Regan will represent union voices in a partnership with innovators in the transportation sector to work towards a safer, more advanced network.

We are now in the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, and many transportation professionals have received $0 despite working through multiple pay periods. Congress must #EndTheShutdown and get air safety back on track.

The upcoming Surface Reauthorization Bill will impact millions of transportation workers. We thank members of the House Labor Caucus for advocating for safety, investment, & strong labor protections that will improve our infrastructure & support working people. ttd.org/news-and-med...

We join the aviation community in mourning the lives lost after yesterday's UPS Airlines crash near Louisville, Kentucky. Our hearts go out to all affected family members and friends of the victims.

Yesterday, @ttdaflcio.bsky.social affiliates, the @aflcio.org Tech Institute, and @microsoft.com participated in a roundtable to discuss the future of AI in the transportation industry. Working people must have a seat at the table to raise safety and workforce concerns about AI.

Today is National First Responders Day! We are grateful to firefighters and transportation workers who serve as first responders in emergency situations. Your sacrifice and dedication are integral to the safety of our communities.

This week, thousands of air traffic controllers, aviation safety professionals, and public sector workers will miss their paychecks due to the government shutdown. After 27 long days, our aviation workforce is strained and our national airspace is less safe. #EndTheShutdown

Transportation labor extends our deepest sympathies to the friends and loved ones of our BLET brother who worked for BNSF and was killed on the job in Montana. We cannot accept rail worker fatalities as the cost of doing business in America.

When we think of school bus safety, we usually think of bus drivers, but railroad signal workers play a crucial role by maintaining railroad crossings. Transportation workers across modes come together every day to keep our infrastructure running! #SchoolBusSafetyWeek @brslaborunion.bsky.social

During National School Bus Safety Week, we are grateful to all of the school bus drivers who make learning possible for so many students across the country. Remember to stay vigilant and follow traffic rules near school buses!

On International Day of the Air Traffic Controller, we honor all of the dedicated & skilled ATCs across the world. Even in the midst of the U.S. government shutdown, National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA) members are unwavering in their commitment to keeping the flying public safe.

Boeing workers in St. Louis have been on strike for 74 days with a company that refuses to bargain in good faith. These Machinists Union members are the backbone of our national defense system, and we stand with them as they demand their fair share. www.goiam.org/news/iam-uni...

As #HispanicHeritageMonth draws to a close, we honor the contributions of those who perform critical jobs in transportation safety, the civil service, and more. We are proud to represent so many skilled workers in the Latine community.

A government shutdown compromises the safety and efficiency of our national airspace while essential aviation workers are furloughed or working without pay. Congress must act to #EndTheShutdown.

ICYMI: This summer we presented Rep. Donald Norcross with the Larry Willis Leadership Award, named for the late TTD President. As a former union electrician & chair of the Labor Caucus, Rep. Norcross is a true champion for transportation workers & union members across the nation.

Today we joined our union siblings from AFGE, AFA-CWA, IAFF, AFT, and more to demand immediate action from Congress to reopen the federal government. The longer this shutdown drags on, the more it hurts essential workers, services & safety.

Our air traffic controllers already work tirelessly to keep our national airspace safe, and they do it without pay during a shutdown. Congress must #EndTheShutdown so we can focus on modernizing our air traffic control system and ensure that the workforce is adequately staffed.

Aviation stakeholders know that a shutdown is disastrous for workers, travelers, and the economy. This week, TTD joined labor and industry organizations to warn Congress of the impact on our National Airspace and the strain on Air Traffic Control during a shutdown. ttd.org/policy/lette...

Even without a government shutdown, our air traffic control system is strained by chronic understaffing and unreliable equipment. Thousands of aviation safety professionals are either furloughed or working without pay. Congress must #EndTheShutdown now.

Right now, tens of thousands of transportation workers & safety professionals are keeping our country moving safely without pay. We call on Congress to fund the government and end this shutdown. ttd.org/news-and-med...

The members of Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 1548 are among the lowest paid regional transit employees in Massachusetts. We stand with them as they hold the line and demand respectable wages, benefits, and dignity in their workplace. Donate to the strike fund here: bit.ly/ATU-1548-GAT...

Many milestones of progress in the labor movement would not have been possible without the leadership, strength, and resilience of Latino organizers. We are proud to honor these workers and union members during #HispanicHeritageMonth.

Today, we applaud Rep. Nicole Malliotakis & Rep. Emilia Sykes for introducing legislation to expand eligibility of the overtime tax deduction to millions of workers. If passed, this could allow workers to deduct overtime pay above their normal hourly wage for tax purposes. ttd.org/news-and-med...

During National Security Officer Appreciation Week, we're sending solidarity to the TSA workforce fighting for their right to a union contract. The TSOs who keep the flying public safe deserve a voice in their workplace-- we stand with you!

Collective bargaining is an American ideal and a right that workers have fought and died for throughout history. Federal employees who serve our country deserve a voice in their workplaces. We applaud the Senate introduction of the bipartisan Protect America's Workforce Act.
