Union Voice/Readers Write: Supporting Transit Workers

“I support ATU Local 1764,” writes Bruce Wolf (Retirement Security Issue Holding Up New Fairfax Connector Deal 12/6 UC). “The two most important parts of a contract's benefit package are Medical and Pension. Social Security (always under attack from the right) is not enough for retirement. The employer's holding onto the portion of the contract's wage package earmarked for a pension plan is criminal and should be treated as such. The entire labor community should actively support the drivers and mechanics.”
