Founded in 1934, the union advocates for fair wages, safe working conditions, strong benefits, and workplace protections for its members.
TWU typically pursues legislation supporting collective bargaining rights, workplace safety standards, public transit funding, infrastructure investment, worker benefits, retirement security, and labor protections at the federal, state, and local levels.
The organization is primarily funded through membership dues and related union activities.
