America's largest transportation federation, representing 40 unions who build, operate, and maintain the nation's transportation and infrastructure systems.
Yesterday, members of the labor movement gathered outside of the U.S. Capitol to support the Protect America's Work Force Act. Collective bargaining is a fundamental right that all workers are entitled to, and Congress must act to restore that right to our civil servants.
