Join PPT and the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 85 to march in the 2023 Labor Day Parade! RSVP today.
PPT is a grassroots union of both transit riders and transit workers. We know that we are the ones using the system every day and that together, we have the knowledge needed to improve conditions for us all. One of our most fun celebrations of this community-union solidarity is when we march in the Pittsburgh Labor Day Parade – which is the oldest Labor Day Parade in the country! RSVP today:
