About TCU


The Transportation Communications Union/IAM represents approximately 46,000 members in the U.S., most employed in the railroad industry. In July 2005, TCU affiliated with the IAM, with full merger occurring on January 2012.

Individually, TCU Local 1315 includes people from many different backgrounds, doing many different jobs. Working with Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LA Metro), we are customer care specialists, stenographers, clerks, truck drivers, accountants, general service specialists, employment processing specialists, print & scheduling support, operation & support services, material managers, revenue collectors, mail service clerks, building service technicians, CCTV Observers, manpower planners, among various other transportation positions.

Together we form a diverse alliance. However different we are as individuals, we share some hopes in common. We want what most people want from life -- A good job with good pay and benefits. Respect. Dignity. Peace. Prosperity.  That's what TCU is all about. Working together through the Union we know we can achieve our common objectives more effectively.  TCU members set the pace and direction of all the Union's activities. The Union's strength will always be in direct proportion to the degree of participation by its members.
