Company Description
The American Train Dispatchers Association (ATDA) is an AFL-CIOaffiliated craft union representing employees in the nations railroad industry who safely and efficiently operate and dispatch trains and supply electric power for railroads that use electricity for propulsion and signaling. Founded in 1917 in Spokane, Washington, and headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, ATDA advocates for train dispatchers, power directors, bridge operators, and related operating professionals across Class I freight carriers, passenger railroads, and regional and terminal rail systems. The organization negotiates and enforces collective bargaining agreements that improve wages, health and welfare benefits, scheduling, and workplace protections, as evidenced by recent multiyear agreements at the Indiana Harbor Belt and the Terminal Railroad Association of St. Louis, an implementing agreement unifying CSX East and South dispatchers under one CBA, and member communications regarding National Health & Welfare cost share updates. ATDA advances rail safety through active engagement with the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), participation in forums addressing issues such as the Confidential Close Call Reporting System (C3RS) and emerging technologies including AI, and by elevating member perspectives in regulatory and public policy arenas; it also takes formal positions on transactions with potential safety, workforce, or relocation impacts, such as its opposition to the proposed Union PacificNorfolk Southern merger. Member programs include scholarships, the ATDA Strong storytelling series, and The Train Dispatcher newsletter, supported by practical resources like membership and payroll deduction forms, beneficiary and death benefit documentation, and a dedicated Train Dispatcher Safety Issue Reporting Tool. Through ATDA.org and organizing resources at ATDANOW.org, the association provides news, updates, and support to existing and prospective bargaining units, combining local craft expertise with national advocacy to protect careers vital to the safe, reliable movement of people and goods across the U.S. rail network.
