Amalgamated Transit Union

The Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) is a labor union in the United States and Canada, representing over 180,000 workers in the transit system and other industries. It was founded in 1892, It lost a bitter strike against the Greyhound Lines in 1983. A disastrous 38 month strike against Greyhound launched in 1990 was finally settled in 1993; the ATU consolidated the twenty different locals that had once represented Greyhound employees into one, Local 1700. In October 2003 it supported a strike of mechanics against Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transit Authority in Los Angeles over the cost and control of its benefit plan. The union avoided the benefit cost increases demanded by the MTA, while deferring resolution over other issues. Its current International President is Warren S. George, who assumed the office in July 2003.
