"The challenges as a union that we face are ongoing. This local 689 has been fighting for transit employees of the DMV for nearly 100 years and it's not going to stop.  The question is: How hard are we willing to fight for our profession and for the livelihood of transit workers of the future, just as past workers have fought for us."  Jackie L. Jeter, President ATU 689.
