Chicago ATU 241 Metro Bus Workers Condemns Racist Cop Terror
The Executive Board of The Amalgamated Transit Union Local 241, representing 10,000 working families in the Chicago region including CTA and PACE bus drivers, maintenance and clerical workers, met Friday, Dec. 18. We voted for the following resolution: "ATU local 241 condemns racist cop terror, as gruesomely displayed in the murder of a black youth, Laquan McDonald, by the the Chicago Police. Our ATU Local knows firsthand about racist cop brutality. Local 241 takes a stand and will issue a statement to be sent to all area unions against the killing of Laquan McDonald and all racist cop terror, as well as the City Hall cover up. We urge all unions to do the same." A delegation left the board meeting to join the demonstration in downtown Chicago protesting the murder and cover up.
