No one is more concerned about bringing young people who represent the diversity of New York City into the MTA than TWU Local 100 Secretary-Treasurer Earl Phillips.

No one is more concerned about bringing young people who represent the diversity of New York City into the MTA than TWU Local 100 Secretary-Treasurer Earl Phillips. This was shown once again on April 22, when at the conclusion of a one-day seminar at the Union Hall by the TDC-MIT Transportation and Infrastructure Summit, Brother Phillips was presented with an award by Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams. The ceremony at Boro Hall, which also honored NYCT President Ronnie Hakim and Port Authority Exec Director Patrick Foye, featured remarks by Earl Phillips. The day's seminar showcased both high school students from the Bronx and college graduates from MIT, all of whom are pursuing careers in transit. Mr. Phillips was introduced by Dwayne C. Sampson, Founder and CEO of the Transportation Diversity Council.
