 | |  | ATU Local 587 is the largest ATU local union on the West Coast. |
Local 587 is an association of men and women organized to maintain our rights and improve our wages, hours and working conditions primarily through collective bargaining with our employers.
Local 587 is part of the Amalgamated Transit Union, AFL-CIO. We are the largest ATU local on the West Coast with about 4000 active and 300 retired members in King, Clallam and Jefferson counties. Although the majority of our members are transit operators, we have approximately 800 members working in over 80 craft occupations.
