Transport Workers Union of America

The Transport Workers Union of America (TWU) is a labor union representing workers in the transportation sector, including those in aviation, railroads, and public transit. Founded in 1934, the TWU emerged during a time of significant labor unrest and sought to unify workers to improve their working conditions, wages, and job security. The union has played a crucial role in advocating for workers' rights and has been involved in numerous strikes and negotiations to secure better contracts for its members. Over the years, the TWU has expanded its membership and influence, becoming a prominent voice for transportation workers across the United States.
