Standing Down for Safety
Announcements | MOW
Member of MoW questions TWU Local 100 President Roger Toussaint and NYCT President Howard Roberts during the safety stand down.
The safety stand down for new procedures on the tracks is here. During the weeks ahead, all 7,000 Local 100 members in MoW – and their supervisors – will go through the full 8 hour program. Conductor-Flaggers and Road Car Inspectors will join them. All other RTO personnel will take part in a separate program targeted to train crews and tower personnel. All told, about two of every three employees in the Department of Subways will take part in the safety training.
Marvin Franklin remembered
On the one year anniversary of Marvin Franklin's death on the tracks, Local 100 members gathered in remembrance at the Hoyt-Schermerhorn station. Prayers were shared. Click here to see Marvin's art. Read more on changes and improvements in A New Beginning for Track Safety (pdf).
Women's Conference 2008
April 11 and 12 saw Local 100’s Women’s Conference, with 72 Union activists gathering to discuss the concerns of all their Sisters. In a message to the Conference, President Toussaint emphasized our Union’s commitment to dismantle all barriers to women’s opportunity and participation. He further emphasized family issues, pointing out: “A workplace that is blind to these real life needs, invariably, is one that is hostile or inhospitable to women.”
LOBBY DAY 2008
A 1,000-strong army of member-lobbyists converged in Albany for Lobby Day on April 15. Every division of TWU Local 100 was represented. A busload of retirees arrived from the All Transit Retirees Conference in Tarrytown. A 21-strong motorcycle contingent laid down rubber on Madison Avenue; among the riders were two OA Division Chairs. A first-ever contingent from American Transit turned out in their AT jackets.
