Transport Workers Union Local 10, a prominent labor organization, officially reported a data breach to the Indiana Attorney General on April 24, 2026. This security incident, which the union discovered on January 29, 2026, has prompted an investigation into how deeply members' personal and financial information may have been compromised.
