The Transportation Communications Union (TCU/IAM) is a labor union representing workers in the railroad, airline, and related transportation industries. Originally founded in 1899 as the Order of Railroad Clerks, the union advocates for fair wages, workplace safety, job security, and benefits for its members. TCU is affiliated with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) and focuses on collective bargaining and labor representation within the transportation sector.
TCU/IAM typically pursues legislative policies related to labor rights, collective bargaining protections, workplace safety standards, retirement and pension security, healthcare benefits, transportation industry regulation, and federal labor law enforcement.
The organization is primarily funded through membership dues and related union fees.
