For all its public space, much of New York City is a walled garden — exclusive, inaccessible, authorized-access-only and otherwise off-limits to the general populace. But on one weekend each year, the nonprofit organization Open House New York briefly grants access to many of the city’s private Edens. https://t.co/xxp2Sxb2pT

@DC37LOCAL3652 @EmblemHealth @AskEmblemHealth @FDNY They also never told you that your union never looked at the full contract. There’s almost 100 redacted pages in this contract that only the leadership of the MLC has ever seen.

Why is NYCE PPO @EmblemHealth forcing Dispute Resolution after Appeals for services that our members are contractually entitled to at NO COST (Emergency Medical Transport by Ambulance). And why does @AskEmblemHealth say the @FDNY is out of network for emergency transport?

[TWU Local 100 @TWULocal100]

From working on the pile to pinging cellphones in an attempt to find survivors in the rubble to transporting other agencies to Ground Zero, transit workers—TWU Local 100 members—were among the first to respond to 9/11. #FlashbackFriday

Below is what 9/11 looked like for transit workers who responded to the devastation in lower Manhattan 25 years ago and the days that followed.

To our members who have become sick as a result of working on the pile and still have not been recognized or compensated, please reach out to your union at [email protected].

NEW: Transport Workers Union leadership are divided on bargaining strategy, a July letter sent by John Samuelsen to John Chiarello shows.

"It's clear to me that you don't want any part of a strategic campaign to fight to win a contract," Samuelsen wrote.

If you're headed to work right now, thanks. If you're already at work, thanks again. If you're just waking up, there's nothing more exhilarating than testing the fire alarm at 7AM.

Three examples of how the UFT doesn’t help retirees when in need but tried to take our health insurance and transfer costs to current retirees to finance active workers. If the last 5 years wasn’t proof enough- here’s another https://t.co/JskercHE7L @JulieMenin @SpeakerMenin you can help us pass intro 1008. Retirees are not in Unions. They used to protect us. They don’t any longer.

All layoffs from the last government shutdown have been reversed thanks to the injunction AFSCME won last year, and now any agency seeking to conduct RIFs during a shutdown in 2026 now must first provide 30 days’ public notice.

[MTA Local Union @DC37LOCAL3652]

@AFSCME why does the headline say reinstated when the article says "But it remains unclear when and if Parent can return to work."

Yesterday was the busiest day on the subway since before the pandemic 🎉

Nearly 4.7 million people rode the subway yesterday, a new post-pandemic record! We've invested in improving safety and reliability across the system—and it's paying off.

Attorney Michael Wilk is recovering from two brain surgeries to stop internal bleeding from a head injury he sustained after riding Six Flags Magic Mountain’s X2 roller coaster in February — and he is not the only one suffering.

Wilk is one of more than 100 people the Dordick Law Corporation says it represents, who claim to have suffered traumatic brain injuries after riding the coaster. 22-year-old Christopher Hawley died from a brain injury after riding the coaster in 2022.

Six Flags shut down the ride in July and declined to comment on pending litigation.

The BART OIG’s second Workers’ Compensation report recommends stronger oversight and improvements to return-to-work practices, holiday pay, and data management. BART management agreed with all 8 recommendations.

NYC's Department of Investigation provided fewer than 170 anti-corruption lectures to city employees last fiscal year — the fewest since the pandemic — due to staff shortages that are also snarling some of the agency’s other core functions.

Government has to adjust to the fact that it's just a matter of time before AI agents start making FOIL requests, filing legal claims, applying for permits and benefits, submitting job applications, reporting fraud allegations, asking questions to 311, or making 911 calls.

Our government processes were built around an assumption we have barely thought about: that every request, application, complaint, and claim requires a human being to spend time creating it. AI will erase that constraint.

NYC simply does not have systems capable of dealing with what could be the resulting exponential increase in the volume of incoming. The time to fix that is now.

I wrote about this and other challenges AI is posing for NYC, and what we need to do about it. Link in reply.

TRANSIT WORKERS—KNOW YOUR RIGHTS! 🚨

Starting November 8, 2026, New York’s new personnel-records law gives current AND FORMER employees the right to request access to their personnel records. 📂

That could be especially important for probationary employees who were terminated and have questions about what Transit actually documented in their file. 👀

Performance evaluations. Written warnings. Probationary records. Termination notices. Disciplinary documents.

If you were fired and always wondered “What did they actually put in my file?” — November 8 is a date you need to remember. 📅

I would exercise that right DAY ONE.

🧾 SHOW ME MY FILE.

Workers can’t protect their rights if they don’t know what’s being documented about them.

Janno Lieber says roughly 1,400 MTA employees work 160 days or less out of 260 workdays a year. 📊

Okay, Janno… but let’s talk about WHY. 🤔

Are workers out on Workers’ Comp included? What about employees dealing with injuries, assaults, trauma, or lingering health issues? What about the documented concerns over particulate matter and air quality in the subway system? 🚇😷

And let’s talk about MORALE. Workers deal with assaults, difficult working conditions, disrespectful supervisors, and sometimes feel like they aren’t even given basic respect when a coworker passes away.

You can throw 1,400 on a screen and blame the workforce—but numbers without context don’t tell the whole story.

If the MTA wants better attendance, maybe it should start asking a different question:

WHAT IS MAKING PEOPLE NOT WANT TO COME TO WORK? 🎯

Fix the conditions. Improve safety. Hold management accountable. RESPECT THE WORKFORCE. ✊🏾🚇
