About Us

The Association of Skilled Trade and Transportation Unions (ASTTU) is a non-profit body committed to the advancement and protection of skilled trade and transportation workers across diverse sectors.

As a Membership-driven organization, we extend a warm invitation to all unions interested in joining our collective voice.

Our portfolio of services is designed to empower unions to secure improved working conditions, more competitive wages, enhanced benefits, and greater job security for their Members. This includes comprehensive support for collective bargaining – from negotiation assistance and legal representation to strategic planning. Moreover, we provide access to tailored training and education programs, aimed at equipping union Members with the necessary skills and knowledge to robustly champion their rights.

Our Priority

ASTTU prides itself on fostering partnerships with vendors that align with our values and dedication to the labor movement.

We enforce a thorough vetting process to ensure our affiliated vendors uphold our exacting standards, guaranteeing Members benefit from top-tier advocacy services, advantageous benefits, cost-effective one-off services, and complimentary access to spaces specifically designed to assist them in navigating the intricate terrain of labor employment.

Vendors wishing to associate with ASTTU are required to submit a detailed application, providing a proven track record of labor support, demonstrable commitment to the labor movement, and their credentials and experience serving skilled trade and transportation workers. Applications are scrutinized by a panel of ASTTU Members, tasked with confirming the applicant’s sincerity and validating their previous union-related endeavors.

This meticulous process is integral to ensuring only vendors demonstrating an unequivocal commitment to bolstering the labor movement are approved to collaborate with ASTTU. Our scrupulous vendor selection reflects our unwavering commitment to social justice, enabling us to deliver the highest quality support and resources to our Members.
