Transport Workers Union

Labor organizing in New York often centers on the people who keep the city moving. The Transport Workers Union represents that effort from an office at 505 8th Ave, New York, NY 10018, where transit workers, airline employees, and other transportation professionals come together. Negotiations, grievances, and legislative advocacy are handled under one roof in Midtown, a neighborhood where union halls have long played a quiet but pivotal role.

Membership covers everything from subway operators to airport ground crews, with collective bargaining agreements that shape wages and working conditions across multiple industries. Safety campaigns, pension protections, and public-transit funding initiatives are part of the daily work. The building itself sits near Penn Station, a fitting address for an organization whose members help thousands commute each day.

To reach the office, call (212) 564-0644. A map can be found here for anyone needing directions. It’s the kind of place you pass every week without realizing what happens inside.
