Jackie L. Jeter has been re-elected to her fourth term as President and Business Agent of the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 689.  Officers winning re-election with Jeter include  Financial-Secretary Treasurer Esker “Butch” Bilger and Recording Secretary Larry Lockley, along with the newly-elected Caroll “Popeye” Thomas as First vice-President and Raymond Jackson, who rounds out the union’s top five officers as the Second Vice-President.

Jeter took office as the Local 689 president in 2007, making history as the first African-American woman to head the local which will celebrate its 100th anniversary as the representative of transit workers of the greater Washington DC next month.

“I’m looking forward to continuing my service to the members of Local 689 for this next term,” says Jeter.  “We know that there will be challenges for our union and for the authority, but we are confident that by working together, we can realize safe, affordable and reliable transit for the riding public we serve.”
​
Jeter will lead negotiations for the next Local 689 contract with Metro in 2016 and also plans to continue addressing the challenges Metro is facing with safety, as well as getting dedicated funding to sustain the transit system.
 
With more than 9,000 active members and an additional 3,000 retirees, Local 689 is the largest union representing workers of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) and the third largest labor union local in the nation.

"Labor Unions hold fast". Organized labor offers job protections, provides human dignity, enforces human rights, a living wage and support for workers of various crafts.
Your nominee may not have been elected but believe Local 689-ATU is a strong voice for worker's rights.

The President of our Local Jackie Jeter is the worst President local 689 ever had. She is single handily destroying the foundanation as to what our local was founded on over 100 years ago! She repeatlly allow our employer(WMATA) to violate the CBA with out as much a whisper from her office. Moral is so that a worker committed SUICIDE a couple of years ago because of her inability to properly challenge WMATA illegal Discipline Policies! The 2016 Geneal Election was marred by multiple contract and bylaw violation. Machine failures at 5 location that where not favorable to her candidacy. They are 8 challenges to the 2016 local 689 general election. I am hearing rumors of a possible strike if she remains in office..SMH! Something has to be done quickly...or I fear the worst

Congratulations. Jackie, Local 689 and WMATA are very fortunate to have you as President. With your experience and vision of the future you will be an integral player for the success of the 12,000 people you represent as well as the being the best person to make sure the critical issues facing WMATA in the future are all addressed. Mainly safety, reliability and dedicated funding for the Transit Authority. As always my best to you. Bob Orr
