Transport Workers Union of America

Transport Workers Union of America (TWU) is a United States labor union that was founded in 1934 by subway workers in New York City, then expanded to represent transit employees in other cities, primarily in the eastern U.S. This article discusses the parent union and its largest local, Local 100, which represents the transport workers of New York City. TWU is a member of the AFL–CIO. TWU established a reputation for militancy and for left-wing politics and was one of the first unions to join the Congress of Industrial Organizations.
