CALL DESUE! TELL HIM TO STOP THE UNION BUSTING

My name is ____, and I’m a TriMet worker and member of ATU Local 757. We’ve been working on an expired contract through the pandemic. While we have been called essential workers, we’re not treated that way. At the bargaining table, TriMet management have called us racists, misogynists, and “bad quality” people. They’re proposing to entirely eliminate our apprenticeship program and outsource all of our maintenance jobs. That would destroy Trimet’s ability to maintain its fleet and deny workers a pathway to good-paying jobs.

As our new general manager, you need to get to the bargaining table now! Put a stop to Laird Cusack’s attack on workers.
