You have to wonder if it is true about the ‘Shady TWU Local 100 rep?’. You come to the realization that it is not true. Then you realize it is the ravings of Israel Rivera Jr, which are baseless innuendo.
One has to wonder why this vitriol? Others wonder if he has ever helped any member of Local 100. The obvious answer is no. Many remember when he was at
80 West End Ave how he did not acknowledge his fellow co workers except for his lackeys!
Recently he has attacked Stephen A Downs as chair to the train operators (disclaimer I have benefited from Mr. Downs advice and guidance in the struggle against management as well as many other issues - thus Mr. Downs has fulfilled his obligated duty to protect our own).
It is also true Mr. Downs is capable of defending himself against the ramblings of Israel Rivera Jr. However Stephen A Downs deserves all the gratitude and thanks. We had a difference of opinion in the past but I have found him to be pluralistic. Maybe in the past he may have had views that were socialist however as we know today USSR has faded away and it is not in existence, the present day Russia has moved on to a capitalist camp.
Many would like to know what Israel Rivera Jr has done to benefit the membership? The resounding answer is zilch. Does Israel Rivera Jr attend TWU Local 100 activities? No one can recall his presence.
