Emergency Campaign for Jobs: Join the ATU in Demanding Federal Funding for Mass Transit!

Join Chicago Jobs with Justice as we join our brothers and sisters of the Amalgamated Transit Union Locals 241 & 308 to demand a real solution to the transit crisis in Chicago: federal money to maintain and expand public transportation.

This is a key element in our Emergency Campaign for Jobs and this is a key fight to protect the public sector in the face of cutbacks and layoffs in this recession.

What: Rally for Transit Funding
When: Saturday, March 27th
9:30-11:30 A.M.

Where: Rainbow-Push Headquarters
50th & Drexel

Why: The CTA has laid-off over 1,000 union members. They have made major cuts in service that effect the entire city. We need to demand a real solution: federal funding to protect and create jobs.

I look forward to seeing you Saturday!

In Solidarity,

Susan Hurley
