The United Transportation Union (UTU) is headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio. It is a
broad-based, transportation labor union representing about 125,000 active and retired
railroad, bus, mass transit, and airline workers in the United States.
In 1968 four brotherhoods' became interested in joining together to make one transporatation
union, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen, the Order of Railway Conductors and Brakemen and the Switchmen's Union of
North America. The new union was to be called the United Transportation Union and
came into existence on January 1, 1969, after an overwhelming vote of the 4 unions
on December 10, 1968, in Chicago.
The first president was Charles Luna, formerly president of the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen, and had 230,000 members. The International Association of Railway Employees
joined in 1970. The Railroad Yardmasters of America joined the union in 1985.
