From Michigan comes the sad news that one of the few remaining Tuskegee Airmen, Lt. Col. Harry Stewart, Jr. has died. He shared membership in that elite club with 12 other Black men, who came to NYC Transit after serving in World War II. TWU Local 100 Interim President John

It was a pleasure transporting Francisco Lindor on the Flushing Line, and the rest of the 2025 National League Champion New York Mets are welcome as well. TWU will take great care of you . It’s gonna be an epic season. TWU Local 100 ⚾️.

NYS government and MTA have tried to implement OPTO (eliminate the 2-person train crews) and had their asses handed to them every time. TWU will fight to defend our TWU Local 100 Conductors til the end, and average, everyday New Yorkers overwhelmingly support us.

A unified TWU Local 100 leadership is now in place. Efforts by Governor Kathy Hochul and her NYS MTA CEO Janno Lieber, to divide the four TWU local unions MTA ,will be met with instant aggression. TWU locals will stand united shoulder to shoulder and defend each other.

The overwhelming majority of students Barnard College and Columbia University have not engaged in violence against the TWU’s blue collar workforce (Nor have they condemned it). TWU supports their right to protest, but we’ll always vigorously respond to anti-worker hostility.

The airline industry’s filthy profit mongering secret. Making gazillions 💵 a year (delivering piss-poor service), offshoring aircraft maintenance to potentially dangerous places. This will lead to disaster one day for Americans. It’s a no-brainer that it must be stopped.

.TWU Local 100 absolutely on fire at their annual Lobby Day in NYS’ capital.. Thousands of NYC Transit workers making it clear that TWU is unified and ready to defend ourselves against MTA attacks on our livelihoods , both in Albany in NYC’s Subway & Bus system.

Today, we remember the generations of Irish men and women — ordinary people with extraordinary courage — who, over many centuries, dedicated their lives to freedom. I stood with leaders from across Ireland at the GPO in Dublin, honouring their sacrifice and enduring legacy. We

Beautiful Mothers Day at Citified, which fans took the TWU Local 100 7 Line to, with TWU planes flying above, headed to Lagaurdia, where the blue-collar workforce is TWU Loc 1400, to be offloaded by TWU Loc 501. TWU moves NY and we move America 🇺🇸. Lets Go Mets 👍

A roll back of the Tier 6 retirement age does nothing for TWU Local 100 & NYC Transit Workers. They are forced to work overtime, then it’s blocked from pensions. Equitable Tier 6 reform means fixing the OT injustice. Tier 6 is, and always, was an absolute backstab to workers.

Does Biden get blamed for 2016 too? Democrats are in a decades long drift away from working Americans. NAFTA, jobs to China, state & local Dems’ endless attacks on the public sector, no prosecution of violent felons, etc . The institution of Democrats must blame themselves.

Corporatization of public transport is ALWAYS toxic. Pursuit of Profit + railroading always leads to negative outcomes, triggering degradation of safety & service for riders, coupled with attacks on workers’ wages & conditions. Rail privatization always shafts working families.

Barro’s facts are wrong about why there are 2-worker crews in the NYC Subway. It’s not ‘cause of lobbying,” it’s due to TWU CONTRACT fightback power. @mta has sought to eliminate Conductors forever. Their own TWU Local 100 workforce organizes, fights back & wins.

Today is RMT National Organising Day. Every year, to commemorate Bob Crow's birthday - June 13th - our members hold recruitment activities. As workers continue to face attacks on their employment, there's never been a better time to #JoinRMT join.rmt.org.uk/app

We demand Mayor Eric Adams reinstate our member, Daily News Union reporter Chris Sommerfeldt is on vacation, to the Mayor’s weekly off-topic briefings. This is an attack on the free press - it is unacceptable to ban reporters for doing their jobs.

If MTA CEO Janno Lieber dislikes the Legislature intervening in contract bargaining, he must be against NYS’ heinous Taylor Law, which handcuffs workers, & because he’s so consistent, he must also support reversing the legislature’s Tier 6 pension betrayal. TWU

god forbid one of these soft-ass Substack rich boys actually believes workers when they say THIS EXACT THING and then STRIKE OVER IT.
