Brilliant !

🚂🚂🚂 TWU Amtrak on-board workers just won the largest raises in Amtrak history, with wages rising 34%. “Amtrak workers are a critical part of our nation’s transportation system. This contract advances their economic security and includes quality-of-life wins” @twusamuelsen

Less than 24 hours from NYPD Central Park telling #pedicab drivers they can't park in the 6 Ave/59th St Central Park entrance, the same drivers are back with zero respect for the law, so New York City Council Gale Brewer Adrienne Adams Erik Bottcher must #BanPedicabs from #CentralPark

Fighting back against Tech bros pushing robocars and robotaxis to eliminate cabbie and truck driver jobs, and (ultimately) Bus Operator jobs, just to make huge profits. Streetsblog New York

Congratulations to a New York union badass who doesn’t take any shite from the bosses. ⁦John Samuelsen⁩ ⁦TWU Local 100⁩

Illegal motorized vehicles in ⁦Central Park⁩ The ⁦NYPD Chief of Department⁩ ⁦NYPD Central Park⁩ Please rein in the illegal unlicensed swarms of pedicabs who clog the 6th Ave drive off 59th, flaunting regulations prohibiting from being there, as well as other locations

Bosses at SEPTA only care about their safety, posting surveillance cams and guards at HQ while workers get assaulted, abused, and even killed. The TWU International fully supports Local 234’s decision to strike if necessary. Governor Josh Shapiro Mayor Cherelle L. Parker @TWUSamuelsen

.Brightline workers are being fed all kinds of mistruths about forming a union. TWU members like Estefany from Miami know the benefits of coming together and demanding the bosses respect you. And that's why they are voting YES for TWU! youtube.com/watch?v=yHRj60…

Toy giveaway in the Bronx run by our NY/NJ locals and TWU member volunteers. “Transport Workers live in the communities we serve and are thrilled to spread Christmas happiness.This is an excellent event that puts smiles on childrens’ faces. How awesome is that?”John Samuelsen

Getting tough on crime. Dancing costumed zebras - and mimes - to befuddle, and maybe stop, turnstile jumpers! jmartineznyc.bsky.social has the @mta scoop. thecity.nyc/2024/12/13/mta…

Congratulations to our International President John Samuelsen who is being named tonight Irishman of the Year and Aide to the Grand Marshal of the NYC St. Patrick’s Day Parade by the United Emerald Societies. ⁦John Samuelsen⁩ #stpatricksdayparade #irish

“It is time for Congress to step up and support workers. Republicans and Democrats alike talk a good game about supporting working people – signing onto the PRO Act and working to pass it into law shows which lawmakers will back up their words with action.” @Twusamuelsen

The TWU strongly backs the Faster Labor Contracts Act, requiring contract talks within 10 days of a union vote. "This new bill would eliminate a frequent anti-worker tactic used by the bosses and give workers more collective power to secure and improve their jobs." John Samuelsen

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.

🔥 OBAMA: “IMAGINE IF I HAD DONE ANY OF THIS… I say this not on a partisan basis. This has to do with something more precious — who are we as a country, and what values do we stand for?” 🇺🇸

The TWU’s prayers are with Governor Josh Shapiro and his family.

"I have resisted going as far as you have done in your criticism of the Israeli government. I resist no more... we are in agreement." Piers Morgan to me, on genocide, on his show today. I cited retired Israeli general Yair Golan saying Israel is now killing babies as a hobby.

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.

The anti-union Brightline railroad company, ultimately owned by the Abu Dhabi royal family, shamefully is trying to squash US workers’ right to be in a union. Unacceptable! John Samuelsen
