ATU Local 1546 Attends the 2026 AFL-CIO MLK Conference

The ATU Local 1546 on Jan. 15-18, 2026 attended the 2026 AFL-CIO Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Civil and Human Rights Conference in Baltimore, MD.

We will build on our victories and strategize about the continued fight for economic and racial justice with - and also within - the labor movement.

The theme of January’s conference is “Honoring Our History-Fighting for Our Future.”

Our democracy is in a state of emergency. Across the country, extremist politicians, far-right judges and corrupt corporate interests have aligned to take away the rights of workers. They are moving to strip us of our fundamental freedoms including the freedom to vote and to collectively bargain for a voice on the job.

The labor movement has always been a force for progress and we will continue that legacy by standing in our power and fighting back against these attacks. We will step into the year with purpose and make it clear that working people will determine the direction of this country. Together, we will build an economy and a society that works for everyone and ensures that all workers, no matter who they are, can live a life of dignity and respect.
