Media Reports Highlight Union's Push to Amend Taylor Law

Both the Daily News and the Chief covered Local 100's drive to amend the Taylor Law to give transit workers the right to strike once our contract ends.

On March 17, the News noted that the bill — sponsored in the State Senate by Sen. Jessica Ramos and in the Assembly by Assemblywoman Stacey Pfeffer Amato — "would put subway and bus workers on largely the same footing as those at the commuter railroads."

The paper quoted President Richard Davis: " This is a democracy. Working men and women should have the right to withhold their labor so they can secure good wages and provide for their families as best they can."

Union Mourns our Departed Brothers

Local 100 Celebrates Annual Quill-Connolly Day

Quill Connolly Day at TWU Local 100 was a resounding success! Photos from the event are now available on our Flickr page for your enjoyment. Through our shared celebration, we strengthened the bonds of community and solidarity that are essential to creating a better and more just world for all workers and their families. Hundreds of members attended the event, which commemorated the reknowned labor leaders, Michael J. Quill and James Connolly. The event was held in honor of St. Patrick's Day and reflected the deep Irish roots of the labor movement. It was a joyous occasion, with traditional Irish folk music played by Mary Courtney, filling the room with its lively and upbeat sounds.

Response by President Richard Davis to the WSJ's editorial attacking RTO A Division Pick.

When the Wall Street Journal attacks me, you know we are doing something right. The issue this week was our arbitration win on the RTO A Division Pick — a decision that protects the livelihoods of our Conductors and Train Operators.

In its March 3 editorial, the Journal says that Local 100 believes that "the idea of workers changing their shift schedules was too much to bear." It quotes me accurately as saying that the new schedules would be "chaotic and problematic."
