Union Makes Strides at Orchard Beach

TWU Local 100 officers and members walked the talk on October 17th as they marched against breast cancer. The disease -- which has claimed many transit workers and family members -- is a major killer. One in 8 US women will develop it at some time in their lives, and one in 39 will succumb to the disease. The action today, part of the American Cancer Society's drive to raise funds and raise awareness, was coordinated by Working Women's Committee Chair Deborah Brown, and assisted by the Office of Recording Secretary LaTonya Crisp. Also playing a key role was Bus Operator Tonya Thompson, who sits on the Executive Committee of Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of the Bronx. VP's John V. Chiarello (MOW and Pete Rosconi (Private Bus Lines) also turned out to support the effort.
