ST. LOUIS, Sept. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Association of Skilled Trade and Transportation Unions (ASTTU) is proud to announce new alliances and commitments through various engagement efforts and support initiatives.

The ASTTU has initiated relationships with several prominent pro-labor organizations, providing support in a variety of ways, including memberships, sponsorships, donations, and advocacy efforts. These organizations include:
- Action Network

As part of their efforts, the ASTTU is proud to sponsor key events, such as the 2024 6th Annual Missouri State Conservation Dinner, organized by the Union Sportsmen's Alliance (USA). This event supports USA's mission to unite the union community through conservation, helping to preserve North America's outdoor heritage.
"We are excited to work alongside these dedicated organizations that share our commitment to supporting workers and advocating for their rights," said Carl Galdine, Director of Membership and Benefits at ASTTU. "By partnering with these organizations, we can build a stronger foundation for protecting the well-being of skilled trade and transportation workers."
ASTTU's collaboration extends beyond sponsorships. On September 5, 2024, Carl Galdine represented ASTTU at the National COSH Fired Up! Town Hall: Workers Speak Out for Heat Justice, where he joined speakers such as Assistant Secretary of Labor for OSHA Doug Parker and U.S. Representative Judy Chu (D-CA). During the event, labor leaders discussed the urgent need for protections against extreme heat in the workplace. To further this cause, the ASTTU has added National COSH's Petition for Heat Justice to its website's Action Center at www.asttu.org/action-center, urging the Biden Administration to prioritize worker safety in extreme conditions.
These efforts reflect ASTTU's commitment to advancing the interests of skilled trade and transportation workers through active participation in the labor movement.
