TWU Local 1 workers voted 269 – 1 to empower leadership to commence strike action against the Akron-Metro transit agency.
After 3 years without a raise, they are fed up and ready to walk off the job. @AkronOhioMayor Shammas Malik has been MIA. The Shammas Strike is a very real possibility. - @TwuSamuelsen

¡Viva México!

The Irish fought with the Mexicans in 1847.

Led by John Riley, a band of Irish soldiers defected from the U.S. to fight alongside their Mexican camaradas. And so was born Batallón de San Patricios - Saint Patrick’s Battalion.

Que Vivan Los San Patricios! 🇮🇪🇲🇽

🚨Last night, ABC7’s N.J. Burkett reported a blockbuster story exposing the MTA’s falsifying of bus maintenance records, jeopardizing Bus Operators, the riding public and anyone else on the road.

Armed with the records proving widespread fraud, TWU Local 100 has blown the lid off of senior MTA management’s concealing of serious bus maintenance failures through their systematic clearing of repair orders that were never completed.

Following surprise 19A inspections at bus depots across the city, the union has uncovered buses with serious safety defects—including cracked windshields, inoperative lights, brake issues and other unresolved mechanical problems—that should never have been returned to service.

Local 100 President John V. Chiarello said the records paint a troubling picture of an agency more focused on making maintenance problems disappear on paper than actually fixing them in the garages.

The union’s investigation revealed evidence of work orders that show Bus Maintainers being credited with repairs while they were off duty, on personal leave—not even at the depot.

Maintenance Directors Tommy Lenane and Mike Rehn said the records reveal a pattern in which critical “redline hold” defects including brakes, steering and tires were marked as repaired despite no work having been performed.

The MTA’s response is to deny that this is happening, yet they admit at least one MTA Supervisor has been suspended since ABC7 began asking questions.

Akron Metro not only wants to impose on transit workers a contract with Zero raises – and increase their healthcare costs by $2,000 a year – but CEO Dawn Distler also won’t recognize Juneteenth as a holiday. Where’s @AkronOhioMayor @shammasmalik ? @twusamuelsen @NAACPOHIOU

[TWU @transportworker]

“If provoked, we will strike.”
TWU bus workers in Akron, Ohio, are fed up with the lack of respect from Akron Metro CE0 Dawn Distler for refusing to recognize #Juneteenth as a holiday for the majority/Black transit workforce. And for denying workers a fair contract with raises. Yesterday, TWU Local 1 in Akron marched in the Juneteenth parade and let the community and @AkronOhioMayor know about Akron-Metro’s disdain for its own workforce. @TwuSamuelsen

Thank you @cndelarosa for supporting and co-sponsoring NYC Intro 937. This bill protects the livelihoods of hardworking, blue-collar @TWULocal100 horse-carriage drivers while raising the bar in terms of animal welfare and safety. @TwuSamuelsen @CentralLaborNYC @NYCCouncil

Rip it up! TWU Local 1 President Wayne Cole and members in Akron, Ohio, show what they think of a three-year contract proposal with no raises for two years – and a provision forcing members to pay $2,000 more for family healthcare. A possible strike looms. @TwuSamuelsen @yourMETRObus @ohioaflcio @AkronOhioMayor
