Brooklyn D.A. Gonzalez Joins Union’s Fight for a Safer Workplace

TWU Local 100 has a powerful new partner in the fight against assaults on transit workers. Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez joined Local 100 President Tony Utano to record a radio spot to be aired on local New York City AM radio stations.

In the spot, Gonzalez says that “assaulting a transit worker is a felony. And if it happens in Brooklyn, I will aggressively prosecute these cases.”

Utano responds: “Transit workers don’t cause delays. Anger towards them is totally misplaced.”

This is the fifth spot in the union’s media campaign to highlight the contributions of transit workers to New York City; the dangers they face on the job, and how the union transform people’s lives.

This is the first spot that specifically targets assaults on transit workers. Listen to it by clicking on the link above.
