Ahead of Saturday’s annual Family Day in Coney Island, President John V. Chiarello stopped at 207th St. Overhaul shop to rally up members there about our contract fight.
Chiarello spoke to the affordability crisis facing workers in today’s economy, and the MTA’s tone-deaf demands for heavy concessions. He said Local 100 is holding the line for a fair and equitable contract and will not back down.
Joining the President today was Financial Secretary-Treasurer Carlos Bernabel, CED Vice President Matt Ahern, Division Chair Robert Ruiz, Section Chair Adam Brown— and a strong contingent of members who are ready for the fight!

A federal judge dismissed a Brightline railroad lawsuit that, if successful, would have invalidated workers' successful vote to unionize.
“This is a huge victory for the workers and the TWU,” @TwuSamuelsen said. “Brightline should finally realize it has reached the end of the line. The railroad’s multi-year attempt to silence its workers and deny them the right to negotiate for fair wages and benefits, has been nothing short of shameful."

@transportworker@NJTRANSIT@NJTRANSIT_HBLR@TwuSamuelsen This is the group that is looking for support from the Unions in getting the MBTA commuter contract that Keolis has right now. They can kiss that support goodbye!!
TWU Intl. Sec-Treas. Jerome Lafragola was picked for NJ Gov.-Elect Mikie Sherrill’s Advisory Task Force, helping Sherrill develop policy. “The TWU is recognized as a strong and important voice for working families, and I think this is a recognition of that," Lafragola said.
Eric you’re so full of shite it’s coming out your ears . You’re a straight up Judas Iscariot , sold your soul to Manhattan real estate developers . You’re not driving change , you’re a corrupt desperate backstabber. You just proved that 💰 💰is indeed the root of all evil .
“I saw first hand at #CES2025 Big Tech’s vision of the ‘future’ of public transport: Unproven, unsafe autonomous vehicles that are designed to kill our jobs while diminishing service quality. We will keep fighting back against any tech that hurts working people.” @Twusamuelsen
“Brightline Workers Prevail! @GoBrightline bosses ran a super ugly anti-union campaign against their own workforce but workers voted overwhelmingly to join the TWU. We will work towards success for both the company and workers. It’s a great start to the year.”@TwuSamuelsen
The TWU is empowering workers in Florida so they can fight for better wages and economic security, and not just accept the crumbs that corporations like @GoBrightline are willing to drop to them. @TwuSamuelsen https://t.co/EKYBdEWgT8
.@TWU525 Firefighters @NASAKennedy were in Washington this week fighting for increased staffing at @NASAKennedy and @SLDelta30. We got a positive, bipartisan response on getting our final firefighter language into this year’s NDAA. 💪
No more secretive six-figure bonuses for @Amtrak executives! The House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee approved a TWU-supported bill, introduced by @RepMolinaroNY19, requiring Amtrak publicize planned bonus payments in advance. https://t.co/AmeI15hrj7 @TwuSamuelsen
Brightline CEO P. Michael Reininger touts the company's union credentials in Nevada @BrightlineWest whilst trying to crush efforts by @GoBrightline workers to unionize in Florida. Total Hypocrisy. And they want more federal money?
