Union Win at Go New York Tours
Drivers and Guides from Go New York Tours, a double-decker bus sightseeing company here in town, have just voted to be represented by New York's most powerful transit union -- TWU Local 100. The vote, 64-3 out of a field of 90 eligible employees, came after a Union organizing campaign spearheaded by organizer Frank McCann, who had just returned from a trip to South Carolina where union members confronted the management of Global Contact Services, which holds the contract for the MTA's Access-A-Ride Call Center, another recently-organized TWU Local 100 Shop. New members at Go New York Tours voted for better wages, better benefits, respect on the job, and real job security. Next time you pass a Go New York tour bus, give them a warm welcome to the TWU family.
