ATU / CTA Retirement Clubs

ATU / CTA Retirement Clubs

For the many ATU members that have remained in the Chicagoland area several retirement clubs and organizations have been formed to keep in touch with old friends.  Most of these organizations meet once a month. Each meeting is like a box of Cracker Jacks with a prize in each box.  No two clubs are exactly alike and the attendance varies from month to month.  All CTA retirees are welcome, regardless of union affiliation or not.
