ATU本地689的历史

The history of the Amalgamated Transit Union starts as early as the first horse-drawn “omnibus” in 1832. The urban areas of 19th century North America were becoming increasingly industrialized, 企业所有者对商业各个领域廉价劳动力的需求也在增长. As the need for workers to get to and from cities grew, so did the need for transportation. 而运输工人的劳动对企业是必不可少的, the transit workers reaped none of the benefits of the labor they brought to those businesses. The horses only worked 4-hour days, while the men who drove them oftentimes worked 18-hour days. Transit workers received no better treatment on the job than their counterparts in the factories, 为运输工人建立工会的运动与其他劳动部门的工会组织类似. 许多工人生活在贫困之中, 没有工作保障, 没有好处, 没有假期, 没有养老金, 没有医疗保健. These terrible living conditions were in stark contrast to the rich company owners; such exploitation created a driving force for the creation of a union.

工会组织的尝试始于1861年，一直持续到19世纪80年代. Management would ignore unions’ requests for recognition and would continue to cut wages for workers, 工人们会为争取权利而罢工. 南北战争延缓了劳工运动, 20年后，运输工人再次开始组织起来. 这一企图被渗透进工会的公司间谍挫败了. Three officers and 30 members were fired and workers found attending meetings or gatherings were also fired. This vicious attack on workers shrunk the base of the union from 600 workers to 13.

然而，领导们坚持并重建了组织. 1885年，美国各地的运输工会.S. 开始要求签订合同. 当管理层拒绝尊重工人的要求时, 工人们会罢工, which would completely shut down that industry until the workers’ needs were met. 在这个时候, there were many separate unions within one sector of the workforce and in the same city.

Transit union leaders organized a mass convention to bring all the unions together under one common name. 美国街道铁路雇员联合协会于1892年在印第安纳波利斯召开的第一届大会上成立. In 1893, when a union in Canada joined, the Amalgamated became an international union. 选举之后，国际联盟的第一任主席是威廉。D. 马洪.

It is from these beginnings of exploitation, struggle, and perseverance that our union exists today. 我们必须永远记住兄弟姐妹们的牺牲和奋斗.
