Get Repost App • Amalgamated Transit Union The most well-attended in history, the 2026 ATU Latino Caucus wrapped today in New Orleans, closing out 35 years the same way this Caucus started by being organized, hopeful, and stronger together.

Members walked in carrying concerns about what this moment means for their families. They walked out with answers, and with people ready to fight alongside them. International President John Costa opened the two days with a call to stand up to that fear, and what followed was a session on immigration law and rights, an immigration panel that armed members with real answers, and a room full of people who refused to face this moment alone.

“This Caucus has never been about one hard fight,” Costa said as the conference closed. “It’s about 35 years of showing up for each other and building the power to keep showing up for 35 more. Sí se puede isn’t just something we say. It’s what we do.”

Congratulations to this year’s award honorees, Latino Caucus President Luis Alzate, the entire executive board, and to each and every volunteer. ¡Gracias por todo!

Get • Celebrating the Life of Juan A. Orta
(ATU International Latino Caucus Emeritus Member; Former Northeast Region Representative)

We regret to inform you that nuestro hermano (“our brother”), Juan A. Orta, transitioned on Friday, April 17, 2026, at home, surrounded by his loving wife Susan and family. He was 72 years young.

Juan was a vibrant member of Amalgamated Transit Union Local 956, the local Latino Caucus chapter when it was active, the ATU International Latino Caucus, the Puerto Rican community, and above all, a devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and generous family man.

Juan was named an Emeritus Member after serving as the Northeast Region Representative(2005-2013)of the ATU International Latino Caucus. The footprints he leaves behind will be difficult to fill. His outgoing spirit, kindness toward others, and selfless service will be deeply missed.

Those of us who witnessed the chartering of the Allentown Chapter in 2002, attended the Allentown conference, and shared in caucus fundraisers know firsthand the warmth and hospitality Juan always extended. We honor him as a great man for his dedication to the ATUILC, his love of Christ, and his lifelong commitment to serving others.

Juan also helped establish the Puerto Rican Parade of Allentown alongside Raul Feliciano and was named Grand Marshal of the parade in 2002. In 2011, the AFL-CIO honored him with the John Werkheiser Award for his active leadership in ATU Local 956 and his activism in the community.

In 2012, Juan founded Latinos Moving Forward, where he expanded his community advocacy through voter engagement, supporting the election of local leadership, and creating opportunities for inner-city youth, including trips to Trexler Nature Preserve.

Hermano Orta retired from his job, but he never retired from his Local or from the Latino Caucus. Full obituary and service information link in bio https://www.connellfuneral.com/obituaries/juan-orta
