As public transit agencies electrify their bus fleets and other vehicles, they must ensure a just transition to protect workers who may be put out of work by the new technologies, transportation labor groups warned Monday.
In a joint policy statement, leaders of two unions that represent transportation workers the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) and the Transport Workers Union (TWU), alongside the Transportation Trades Department of
the AFL-CIO (TTD) said transit agencies should be required to show the workforce impacts of buying electric vehicles (EVs), establish a national workforce training center to train current employees on those systems and guarantee that workers will be represented on task forces and committees around climate change and technology.
FALL RIVER Not everyone knows that former president John F. Kennedy commanded not one but two PT boats during World War II.
It’s widely known that he was badly injured and personally saved a crew member’s life after his PT-109 patrol torpedo boat was rammed by a Japanese destroyer in the South Pacific in 1943.
But only a month later Lt. Kennedy, who had suffered a serious back injury, took command of PT-59, which was soon converted to a gunboat.
The wood and metal remains of PT-59 and there weren’t a lot of them were brought to Fall River’s non-profit Battleship Cove in the summer of 2020.
