Congresswoman Johnson Endorsed By Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1338

 Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson has received the endorsement of Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1338 (AFL-CIO). In their endorsement, Local 1338 President Kenneth Day said, " I am proud to say that ATU Local 1338 is glad to support The Honorable Eddie Bernice Johnson in her re-election for U.S. Congress. Congresswoman Johnson stood with transit workers and riders during consideration of the surface transportation bill. The Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act includes critical safety provisions that will save the lives of public transportation workers and passengers, addresses the bus crisis, and initiates some important workforce development programs and the much support she has given to DART's Employees. We are extremely grateful to Congresswoman Johnson for prioritizing our issues."




"I am proud to have received the endorsement of Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1338 whose members are the bus drivers, rail operators, mechanics, station attendants, and other support personnel who make safe and efficient public transportation possible. As Senior Ranking Texan on the House Committee on Transportation & Infrastructure, I have worked hard author and sponsor legislation that will create a world class transportation system for Dallas, Texas and the Nation. I will continue to stand up for the fair treatment of transit industry workers, their health and safety and their right to a decent living." - Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson
