We empower Amalgamated Transit Union Local 241 and Local 308 members with tools to take control of their union and to inspire humble, accountable leadership.
CTA, Pace, Metra and Paratransit jobs and services are secure for now. This is good news for all. The agencies owe much more than gratitude to unions, transit riders and volunteers for the free advocacy. Fares should NOT be raised. @streetsblogchi

NEW: Mass Transit bill has been filed in Springfield -- a massive piece of legislation to provide $1.5 - $1.87 bil to CTA, Metra, Pace and downstate transit. Funded by a 4.95% tax on income or assets above $1 billion, and a 7% amusement tax. Set to be debated in committee tomorrow https://t.co/OcvoEeJuOI
