Russian Day 2015 -- An Outstanding Celebration of Heritage and Union Pride

A great night was had by all at Tatiana, the Brighton Beach night spot where we celebrate TWU's Russian Day, honoring our transit workers and their heritage. Political leaders and union officers enjoyed the evening of great food and entertainment on October 10th. A letter sent to President Samuelsen speaks eloquently about the feelings of the wives of some of our transit members:

From Tatyana Dubson:

Thank you for Russian Heritage Day! This year we had much better Russian Heritage Day service in Tatiana's Beach Cafe then previous year. We are very grateful to you for descent fund that you allocated for this event. I'm writing on behalf of wife's of  dedicated MTA "Russian" workers who pay significant role along with other in successful operation  of NYC transit. We know how seriously and professionally they do this  job, so they deserve this kind of appreciation from your site.

We are happy that our husbands are under your umbrella and you also remember about us -women who share with them all success and  failure in this life. Thank you for the ability to join this celebration together with our husbands. For us this celebration like re-union and we meet and introduced to our husband's supervisors, Russian coworkers, union representatives. So, we know with whom they do their work that very often dangerous and  require friendly and supportive attitude to each other. We really can say, that along with other nationalities, our husbands are in good hands.

Thank you.
