TDU in Action—Local Union Reform
“We want our union to be controlled by the members and to fight for us, not the company. TDU gives us the information we need to enforce our rights and puts us in touch with other Teamsters who want a strong, democratic union.”
Jona Fleurimont, Consolidated Bus Transit, Local 854, New York City
