The TWU Congratulates President-Elect Biden and Vice President-Elect Harris
The below statement should be attributed to the Transport Workers Union (TWU) International Administrative Council:
Thanks to historic levels of voter turnout, this country is going to get a President in Joe Biden who believes in unions. President-elect Biden understands the importance of public transit, of Amtrak and passenger rail, and of having a fair airline industry that works for us. Time and again, he has proven that he is fully committed to fighting on behalf of workers, growing the labor movement, and safely getting us through the pandemic.
We look forward to immediately continuing our work with President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris to make sure that all frontline workers get the economic relief and the workplace safety standards that we need to protect ourselves and our families. And over the course of the next four years, we are committed to working with the new administration to bring about meaningful change for transport workers and workers nationwide.
