Last week, we sent a letter to TA’s Board of Directors asking for a seat on the selection committee for our next executive director. Union members represent the vast majority of TA’s staff — we need a seat at the table. We look forward to hearing the Board’s decision.
Union members don't only make up nearly 75% of TA's staff, we represent the majority of staff members who have been with the organization for more than five years. TA staff had a limited, if not solely cosmetic, role in the last executive director search, and our union formed, in part, in response to being left out of this process. Union involvement will ensure our new executive leadership fits with TA’s culture and gets off to a strong start. We urge TA's board to give TA's union a voting seat in the executive director search process.

The cost of living is skyrocketing in New York City. Rents are rising 7x faster than wages. According to MIT, a living wage in New York City is above $60,000. TA workers need a living wage. That's what we're fighting for at the bargaining table.
No TA worker should earn less than a living wage of $60,000

In 2023, rents grew faster than wages in approximately half of major metros, with NYC having the largest gap in the country. specne.ws/NTm9er

Report: Rent hikes far outpace wage growth in NYC

The economic trend is not just found in New York City.

1/ Abortion is health care. The fight for transit equity must not leave behind people across the country who will be forced to travel hundreds of miles for abortions — many of whom cannot afford to travel by car. usa.streetsblog.org/2022/05/…

Our auto-centric transportation system already poses a barrier to abortion care — and the likely rollback of the constitutionally protected procedure could make that hurdle virtually insurmountable...
