TWU Support Building for School Bus Strikers

The TWU Local 100 membership is mobilizing to support striking members of ATU Local 1181. Officers from TA Surface visited strike lines on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, in Woodhaven, Queens, on Neptune Avenue, and in East New York. The Chair of Fresh Pond depot, James Beard, pictured along with Local 100 Shop Stewards Tyrone Bennett and Keith Wilkes, brought food to strikers on Metropolitan Avenue in Ridgewood, Queens. From the West Farms Depot, a contingent of union members went to Lonerga Transport, just around the corner from Zerega, to show our support. At the Union Hall, Director of Organizing Charles Jenkins is working on union-wide mobilization to support our brothers and sisters in the ATU.
