On day two, International President John Costa joined our members and leaders from across the Northwest gathered in Phoenix, AZ

"I'm really happy to see the unity here," said Costa. "I've seen the Northwest grow. I've seen you pull together. I see and appreciate it, and the companies see it across the U.S. and Canada. They see that the ATU plays a heavy role. We might not be the biggest union in the room, but we carry a big bat and step up in more ways than most. A huge thank you to all the Locals for their hard work and dedication-together, we're driving change in our workplaces. Let's keep pushing forward, making strides for justice and equality in our transit systems. Stay safe out there. Thank you for representing. I was honored to be here."

International Executive Vice President Yvette Trujillo, International Secretary-Treasurer Ken Kirk, International Vice Presidents Jim Lindsay, John Callahan, Art Aguilar, Michael Cornelius, and ATU Canada President John Di Nino also joined Costa at the conference board.
