Amalgamated Transit Union Legislative Council

Our Purpose

The Washington State Legislative Council exists under the authorization of the Amalgamated Transit Union International Constitution and General By-Laws.

To protect the rights of the members of the Amalgamated Transit Union at the level of political activity that can be generated by the combined efforts of this Legislative Council composed of the Local Unions embodied within the State of Washington.

To promote and support new legislation before the government bodies of our State by lobbying effectively with the elected officials who have the authority and responsibility of representing the citizens of Washington State.

To cooperate with our Local Unions, and to form a stronger political bond of cohesion with the Washington State Labor Council, and other Labor Councils in the cities where our transit Locals are centered.

To encourage our memberships to be politically alert on matters that affect their livelihood, and create a more favorable public sentiment towards the Transportation Industry.
