Amalgamated Transit Union Local 689 - A Union of 15,000 transit workers in and around the nation's capital. Fighting for transit workers and riders!
- DC, now you see who was telling the truth about the racist marchers being escorted onto Metro and who lied. Wiedefeld lied to riders and public when the truth was more convenient. The fallout of today will be on him.
- Maybe we could also talk to one of the thousands of bus operators who have had to deal with reckless drivers weaving around their vehicles, forcing sudden stops, and creating needless traffic by driving in lanes clearly marked “ONLY BUS.” Just a thought though 🤔
- Fed up with a lack of progress in contract talks and unfair labor practices, the bus drivers for the DC Circulator, employed by RATP Dev, will be on strike tomorrow morning, Tuesday, May 3rd and will stay out until an agreement is reached.
- DC Circulator workers are still standing strong! We have bargaining with RATP Dev today.
- Make no mistake, this is special and unprecedented service given to a hate group. #wmata
- WMATA and Transdev, congratulations! Your poor privatization schemes led to the first MetroBus strike in 41 years. This is on you, fix it!
00:00 - It is with deep sadness that we learned this morning that a member of @ATULocal689 was killed at Potomac Ave Station. Our union family stands strong in this incredibly difficult hour and asks for respect and privacy for the family and friends affected as details are made public.
- Replying to @ATULocal689(3/3) We are asking the public to join us in contacting @NoVaTransit, DC @MayorBowser and Maryland Governor @LarryHogan to order the #WMATA Board to fire the general manager immediately." - Pres. Jackie Jeter
- (1/3) "Today, the public was lied to by WMATA General Manager Paul Weidefeld the same way he has been lying to this union for the last two years. #WMATA
