Because automation is already here, International President John Costa hosted a “Preparing for an Automated Transit Future” webinar tonight for our Local leaders on autonomous vehicles, AI surveillance, and how we fight back at the bargaining table.
“This is not a theoretical exercise. ATU members are already working as safety operators on autonomous vehicle pilots, and our members are being watched by AI-powered systems every second they’re behind the wheel,” said Costa. “If we wait, employers will sideline our Union, undermine our working conditions, contract out our work, and eliminate our jobs. This is not going to be easy, but we need to start bargaining and organizing over these issues before they become problems at our properties.”
Our members were updated by ATU International staff on AV and AI in our industry, bargaining resources, workforce development opportunities, and the latest on the surface transportation reauthorization bill.
This technology is moving fast, but so are we.

Metro station staff keep our stations safe. But their jobs are under threat.
Unions across the world joined our global campaign to demand action. Seven cities. One fight. Protect Metro Jobs! 🚇✊

Station staff do more than sell tickets.
🚨 They are the first responders in emergencies
♿️ They support disabled people
ℹ️ They provide the vital information you need during disruptions.
Station staff keep our stations safe. But their jobs are under threat.

Solidarity with Arriva bus drivers striking today against dangerously hot working conditions in London! Temperatures for drivers in the city have reached 40°c this summer.
Heat is a serious safety issue – Arriva must do more to protect the people who keep London moving.
🥵Unite members are battling the heatwave.
🚌 On London's buses, workers are balloting for strike action. Unite has produced a model letter for drivers to use if their driving conditions are unsafe. And members are pressuring operators and authorities. And it's working. The GLA has passed policy supporting better protection for bus workers and @MayorofLondon has issued official guidance. Let's keep up the pressure and keep drivers safe ☀️

Public transport must operate for public good, not profit. It belongs to all of us. We need investment in accessible, safe and sustainable public transport.

Public transport workers keep cities moving but are denied safe access to sanitation facilities.

🚨 A new survey by Unite finds over half of bus routes have no toilets on them.
"These findings show a complete failure when it comes to providing decent toilet facilities for bus drivers.
"The right to a toilet at work is a basic human one and should be a given for all workers. Bus companies know what they should be doing but are ignoring the welfare of their drivers." @UniteSharon
🚽 On #WorldToiletDay, UK #busdrivers demand toilet dignity!

Ahead of #COP30 🇧🇷, ITF has been shining a spotlight on the transport workers on the frontline of climate change.
Electric buses like the one Rosenia drives are vital for decarbonisation but governments must invest in infrastructure and training to support transport workers.

"Strong unions need women. Women must have spaces to organise. Women’s issues must be part of the bargaining agenda. Women must be in leadership."
