Save Our Union

We continue in vigilance and voice....

Welcome to:  Save Our Union

 We are a diverse group of rank-and-file members, local officers, General Committee officers, State Legislative Board officers and International officers of the United Transportation Union (UTU) who support the efforts to save the UTU from those who would deny the rights of our members to a fully-informed vote in the flawed vote in the merger with the Sheet Metal Workers International Association (SMWIA).

 

We know that Paul Thompson & his cohorts sold out the UTU with their proposed SMART merger.  They violated our rights and the plain language of the merger agreement.  They want a "blank check" from the members in order to construct SMART in any way that they see fit; and they do not want us to have any input to it at all.

 

We urge all UTU members to use our website to educate themselves about the merger to form SMART.   We receive news and information from supporting members and will publish it as it comes in.

Also, you will find the legal documents from the current lawsuits generated by Thompson & the dwarfs' flawed merger vote. They are:

 

 

Be sure to visit our Updates page for the latest news. We encourage you to post on the forum and leave your comments on the various blogs.

 

We would like to thank each of you that support this important effort and that have donated in the past.  Unfortunately, our legal costs  continue to mount and again we must ask that you consider another donation to the Save Our Union legal fund. 

 

We feel that in the long run we will prevail and hopefully recover our legal costs and be able to reimburse all those who have helped.

 

UTU members and subordinate bodies can go the Donation Form page to download the information you need to make a donation. 

 

We receive our support and accept donations ONLY from UTU members and subordinate bodies.
