ATU-ILC President Ismael Rivera and ATU-ILC Emeritus President Jose Guerrero attended the LCLAA 22nd National Membership Convention where they participated in helping with the recovery of areas destroyed by Hurricane Maria.  Ismael participated in the recovery of Hogar Rosanna, a shelter for women between the ages of 18-35 who are functionally diverse and whose home was destroyed by Hurricane Maria. They painted walls, set tiles, installed doors, and cleaned up debris, thus providing these women with a healthy place to live. Jose participated in the recovery of the Comerio Bridge which is located on the central-eastern part of Puerto Rico, Comerio is among the municipalities that were declared as a major disaster zone following Hurricane Maria. Yet, people who live here have not seen living conditions progress. He helped remove the small bridge and cleaned up debris from a bridge that is flooding this community. They also participated in LCLAA's "Workers' Rally for Unity and Resilience". They marched in El Viejo San Juan to send a clear message to authorities: Enough! Basta ya! Enough of the attacks against workers, unions, and public education!! At this convention Ismael Rivera was sworn in as the ATU Representative on their Executive Board and LCLAA voted in their first Latin Woman and once undocumented President. Congratulations to Yanira Merino.

 ATU International Latino Caucus Membership

 Good Morning, we are praying for our ATU brothers and sisters who are fighting the front lines in this war.  We are also praying for members who have caught the Coronavirus and their families.  My prayers are also for the family of MTA train operator Garrett Goble in New York. 

On behalf of the International Latino Caucus, We congratulate IVP Ray Rivera on his  well deserved   retirement. We thank him for all he has done for all the members throughout his career as an ATU leader. As President of the ATUILC, I want to thank brother Ray Rivera for all he has done for the Latino Caucus and his participation in our organization throughout the years.  I first met Ray Rivera in Orlando, Fl in 2007 when he assisted local 1596 in contract negotiations and we became very good friends.

The ATU-ILC Executive Board hopes that you are all staying safe during this COVID-19 Pandemic and ensuring your families are also safe.  During this time of uncertainty for all of us due to the continued rise in positive COVID-19 cases, we would like to share that our upcoming Executive Board meeting scheduled for April in San Diego and our Annual Conference scheduled for September in New Jersey are pending.  We will be awaiting what transpires in the next couple of weeks and will provide another update at that time.  We appreciate all the hard work you all continue to do in the transportat
