This Week in Passenger Transport
March 17, 2008
Transit issues demand coalition building between management and the workforce. That was the thinking when several APTA leaders took time away from the association’s Legislative Conference at the J.W. Marriott Hotel in Washington to participate in a panel session during the Amalgamated Transit Union’s Legislative Conference, not far away at the Hyatt Regency Hotel on Capitol Hill.
The March 9 session was the first time ATU has invited APTA to participate in a session before the union’s members.
The “Transit Workforce Development Labor/Management Panel” brought together APTA First Vice Chair Beverly A. Scott, Ph.D., general manager of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority; J. Barry Barker, vice chair of the APTA Legislative Committee and executive director of the Transit Authority of River City in Louisville, KY; and Elliot G. Sander, executive director and chief executive officer of New York’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority, along with Ray Marshall, U.S. secretary of labor in the Carter Administration, and presidents of several ATU locals. ATU Legislative Director Jeff Rosenberg served as moderator.
