“Every day we’re punched, assaulted, spit on,” says @NelsonRiveraTWU. “Enough is enough.”
Big 🔥 & turnout in Harlem from @TWULocal100, which says filthy trains & anger from the riding public make their tough jobs even tougher.
@TWULocal100 Administrative VP @NelsonRiveraTWU addressing the media - 4 tv stations and several print/web scribes - in Harlem about the need to boost the number of @mta subway car cleaners. Linking filthy conditions to rider anger and assaults on transit workers
Councilman @BenKallos — tell @mta when you see dirt on the trains @NYSAFLCIO@CentralLaborNYC — no bathrooms lead to soiled stations now is not the time to make cuts
Soiled and crumbling stations are only seen in underserved immigrant and working class communities!
You wouldn’t see this in a station in Columbus Circle or Midtown. There should be no reason why we see them in our communities!
We must respect all riders and all workers!
Standing with @TWULocal100@transportworker against @MTA's continued staffing cuts resulting in soiled train cars and dirty stations. We can do better.
This not the time for cut, service needs to improve not get worse @assemblymanalt1@RepEspaillat
We need to ensure that the MTA looks at ALL the stations across the City.
We cannot see cuts in cleaning and maintenance operations.
I will continue working alongside colleagues and advocates to ensure that we address the issues impacting riders and workers! #FixTheMTA
While still working to hammer out a new labor deal with the @MTA, the @TWULocal100 is pressing the authority for help in cleaning filthy, smelly train cars. https://t.co/FZ4HXFaa1b
