Everyone has a right to a safe workplace.
But there is an ongoing and unacceptable plague of assaults and abuse being inflicted upon Transit Workers, Flight Attendants, and other frontline transportation workers.
Strong government intervention is needed to prevent this violence.
In addition, assistance must come quickly when attacks or threats do occur.
Victimized workers must receive time to recover from both physical and emotional trauma.
The Final General Directive was issued in 2024.

The federal government provides billions of dollars annually for transit agencies to buy new equipment, such as buses and trains, but does not help cover the operating costs of providing riders with the actual day-to-day service, including fuel and wages.
This makes no sense; change is needed.
The federal government provides billions of dollars annually for transit agencies to buy new equipment, such as buses and trains.
It provides billions more to repair or replace infrastructure, such as tracks and signals.

The federal government has provided U.S. airlines with economic incentives to have their aircraft repaired and maintained abroad for far too long.
The TWU is fighting back against flawed policies that have cost Americans jobs and undermined airline safety.
For years, the Federal Aviation Administration has not held overseas aircraft repair facilities to the same high standards that are in effect in the United States.
TWU advocacy, however, has helped advance some much-needed changes.

Freight railroad companies continually put communities and workers at risk by cutting corners on inspections, staffing, and other measures that are needed to prevent accidents.
Congress must impose new regulations to keep our communities and workers safe.
It’s time to pass the Rail Safety Act to prevent incidents like the February 2023 East Palestine derailment from occurring again.

The TWU is the representative of our members in Washington, DC.
We are making sure that the voices of transit, airline, railroad, and other workers are heard in the halls of Congress, the offices of federal agencies, and inside the White House.
The critical issues facing our nation must be addressed in pro-worker ways to ensure our economy is built for the middle class.

Each part reads different filings, so counts and totals can differ.
Direct PAC contributions and independent expenditures explicitly reported as support, by the party of the candidate they went to.
| Party of the candidate | Candidates | Direct | Independent | Amount | Share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Democratic | 148 | $707,000 | $0 | $707,000 | 80% |
| Republican | 16 | $100,000 | $0 | $100,000 | 11% |
| Other or unresolved | 19 | $71,500 | $0 | $71,500 | 8.1% |
| Shown support | 183 | $878,500 | $0 | $878,500 | 100% |
Contributions are reported money, not endorsements; a PAC giving to both parties is common.
Every contribution on line 23 of the committee’s own Schedule B, which is the filing its summary totals are built from. That line covers federal candidates, party committees and other political committees alike, so a super PAC funding other super PACs appears here rather than under candidate giving.

Money moving between this committee and other committees, matched on FEC committee ID rather than the name each filing was typed under. Both sides exclude memo entries. The figures here count each committee once, from the itemized transfers read for this section, so they will not match the payment counts under Who this PAC gave to.

By the state each contributor wrote on the filing. The FEC aggregates every Schedule A line together, so one committee or organization transfer can account for a whole state. Contributors who have given $200 or less this cycle are not itemized and cannot be placed on a map. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total.
