Tanya D. Johnson Sworn in as Newest Executive Board Member

DECEMBER 19—Tanya D. Johnson, a Bus Operator from Flatbush Depot with 18 years on the job, was sworn into her new position on the Executive Board at Monday morning's meeting.

Johnson, who won a special election on December 11, repeated the oath read by President John Chiarello as Administrative Vice President Alexander Kemp looked on.

“This means so much to me,” said Johnson after the swearing in. “It means when the senior people retire, they can pass along the information so that the younger generation can come up and still maintain a healthy, strong, united union.”

“It’s important for us to be loud and strong,” Johnson said. “It doesn’t matter if I can make a lowercase d, a capital d, I still made a difference and as time goes on each little change becomes a big change, and that’s important to me.”
