Transportation Communications International Union is an affiliate of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers. The union consists of clerks, carmen, auto technicians, computer programmers, skycaps and redcaps, onboard service workers, secretaries, supervisors, government workers, truck drivers, accountants, yardmasters, intermodal workers, police officers, reservations agents and transit workers. It was established when 33 railroad clerks gathered in the back room of Behrens' cigar shop in Sedalia, Mo., in 1899. They formed Local Lodge Number 1, of a union they named the Order of the Railroad Clerks of America, which is the precursor to Transportation Communications International Union.
