Local 443 is the Stamford chapter of the Amalgamated Transit Union, the largest labor organization representing transit workers in North America. This chapter works hard to protect the rights of its members: light rail operators, bus drivers, maintenance personnel and other transit sector employees.
The issues that the Stamford ATU is involved with include driver's license regulations, drug and alcohol testing, emergency response and preparedness training, energy independence, health and safety concerns, social security and transit funding.
