"Amtrak is a national rail service that supports good union jobs and a strong local economy,” says Herbert Harris, Jr, State Chairman, Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers & Trainmen / IBT. “Congress should provide the additional funding to keep Amtrak viable and serving our country."

 With a record number of area families struggling with increased hardships this year due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Community Services Agency is launching its 2020 Holiday Basket Program. “The need has never been greater,” said CSA Executive Director Sonte DuCote. This program provides support to needy union and community families for the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Local unions and community members can support the program by donating gift cards and grocery store cards from union grocers like Giant and Safeway to the Community Services Agency. Local unions and CSA partners may also adopt needy families for the Christmas holidays. For more information email [email protected].
