TWU's Westchester Picnic Brings Hundreds to Yonkers Park

JULY 8 -- Top leadership including TWU and Local 100 President John Samuelsen joined hundreds of members from School Bus properties and Liberty Lines for a fun-filled Family Day at Redmond Memorial Park in Yonkers. Our union hosted the annual party with plenty of great food, music, and kiddie activities like a bouncy house and face painting. Top officers included Secretary-Treasurer Earl Phillips, Recording Secretary LaTonya Crisp-Sauray, Administrative VP Nelson Rivera, and VP's Tony Utano, Richie Davis, and Pete Rosconi. We were also joined by local political leaders including State Senate Democratic Conference Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, State Senator George Latimer, Assemblywoman Shelley Mayer, and local City Council members. Assemblywoman Mayer has made pushing our earned sick time legislation in Westchester one of her main priorities. At the event, President Samuelsen pledged to continue to put major union resources into our School Bus Division to increase union market share in the industry. He lauded Division Chair Gus Moghrabi for "delivering more and more members" into the union. Enjoy the photos from this festive day!
