ATU Local 1700 members took a big step forward – together – on April 26. Hundreds of Greyhound employees rallied with family and friends at bus stations from L.A. and Atlanta to Cleveland for the union’s National Day of Action for Terminal Workers.

Local 1700 will be judged by how hard we fight every day for every member. We will all benefit when terminal workers bring home a decent contract. Their union dues went into the fight for the drivers’ and mechanics’ recent contract. Now it’s their turn at the bargaining table and it’s everyone else’s turn to support them.

Greyhound plans to celebrate its 100th anniversary with a national caravan of classic buses. Union members will picket on June 21, when the road show hits Washington, D.C. The tour and rally will be at Six Flags America. For more information, contact Region 3 V.P. Herman Green at (216) 233-0238.
