The venerable TWU Express, the international union's award winning monthly newspaper, has undergone many changes in its more than 50 years of continuous publication.
The Express provides
news from all TWU divisions and highlights important political, legislative and
industry issues that affect members and retirees. The paper has increased
coverage of local events, whether through hard news stories or features. Lively
photo spreads show members on the job and at union activities. The union's
history, illustrated with pictures from the photo library, continues to be
featured. The fascinating story of how our union was built can inspire us to
meet today's sometimes daunting challenges.
