Fiscal Cliff
In the face of the looming public transit fiscal cliff, we have joined the Labor Alliance for Public Transportation to partner with state lawmakers in Springfield to enact smart, safe and fiscally sound public transit reforms.
The Labor Alliance for Public Transit includes over thirty local unions working in tandem to enhance the safety and efficiency of transportation options across Illinois.
As a member of the coalition, SMART-Transportation Division envisions a cohesive, coordinated, forward-thinking approach to public transportation that meets the needs of all Illinoisans.
Our coalition created a webpage to share key resources and ensure that workers and riders have a voice in the future of our public transportation networks. For more information, visit unitedwemoveil.org
The labor movement has long said that an injury to one is an injury to all. Let's work together to ensure the future of Illinois' public transportation workforce is bright and equipped to serve the millions of Illinoisans who rely on our service.
In solidarity,
Bob Guy
Illinois Safety and Legislative Director
