On the 12th day of their strike, ATU Local 689 Loudoun County Transit members got a boost on the picket line Tuesday from a visit from International President John Costa, International Executive Vice President Yvette Trujillo, and International Secretary-Treasurer Ken Kirk. “I am proud to be here with you today,” Costa told the strikers. “Your strength and solidarity is sending a strong message to Keolis, a French company, that we demand a fair and just contract that allows you to provide for your families. They called us heroes during the pandemic, but are treating us like zeroes. You have the full support of your International, and together we will ‘Hold the Line’ until we get what we deserve.” photo by ATU.
