ATU Local 843

AMALGAMATED TRANSIT UNION, LOCAL 843
WORKING TOGETHER, SERVING THE COMMUNITY

ATU Local 843 is an association of workers organized to maintain our rights and improve our wages, hours and working conditions. ATU Local 843 is part of the Amalgamated Transit Union, AFL-CIO. ATU Local 843 represents the majority of employees of Whatcom Transportation Authority. An executive board elected by our membership supervises and directs the management of the Union.

Our association was established August 20, 1918. We have played a major role in providing the residents and visitors of Whatcom County with excellent transportation services ever since.

Effective labor unions are still by far the most powerful force in society for the protection of the laborer's rights and the improvement of his or her condition. No amount of employer benevolence, no diffusion of a sympathetic attitude on the part of the public, no increase of beneficial legislation, can adequately supply for the lack of organization among the workers themselves. ~ J.A.
