TWU Local 100 Mourns George Perlstein

We are saddened to announce that RCI George Perlstein passed away on August 4, 2025.

George was a tireless fighter for workers rights. He joined Transit in 1998 and from the very beginning he worked to better the lives of his colleagues, he never wavered in his positions and always put workers first. George served the membership in many capacities during his career, finishing up with the UAP, helping members to battle their demons and get their lives back on track.

George was a friend to everyone and was always available to lend an ear. His quick wit and great sense of humor always had his friends smiling. He will be missed by all. God Rest his Soul.

Shiva services are ongoing today, Thursday, August 7th at 1717 East 38th Street in Brooklyn from 11AM to 11PM for close friends and family.
