Guess who Samuelsen assigns for TWU Local 100

You can deduce from the photograph that was disseminated showing Harry Lombardo handing the TWU Constitution to John Samuelsen the following.

It was clear TWU Local 100 will not be led by an African American or an Hispanic.

A Samuelsen loyalist said ‘show me one competent African American’ who can lead TWU Local 100 forward - if this is the thinking of John Samuelsen using this straw man to spread this illusion - it is unacceptable. Shame to the loyalist condemning a whole race.

This is not the days of bygone where minorities have to take the backseat and accept it - we say loudly - no. Maybe the loyalist was saying John Samuelsen needed a puppet that he could control from afar - we say no to that concept too, if an African American is to lead TWU Local 100 - let that African American be his own man.

There is no question there are many minorities who are capable to lead TWU Local 100 forward into the future, however using Roger Toussaint as an excuse to deny African American is not acceptable, maybe that will be palatable to Nelson Rivera who was bought cheaply but not to us - in addition Roger Toussaint is a Caribbean - this distinction which is peddled by Samuelsen lackeys - we will call it a subtle racism which intends to divide among the suppressed.

Comparing between Toussaint and Samuelsen it is night and day. Toussaint gained admiration & adulation of minorities TWU Local 100 members by telling the Mayor Micheal Bloomberg ‘To shut up’ and beyond. Samuelsen got layoff from Walder in 2009 - a thousand of our fellow co workers were laid off (caution Samuelsen lackeys - guess their skin color - will claim we got them back) - worked with no contract - Samuelsen can never reach the adulation of Toussaint among Local 100 minorities - Toussaint gets scorn from Caucasians members of TWU Local 100 (who are Samuelsen lackeys).

If this is a ploy to name Tony Utano as acting president - that will not be good for our local. Going back to the picture - clearly minorities were in the backseat - it was strange while Local 100 is the largest local which catapulted Samuelsen to the top of the TWU International with majority are minority why they were excluded - you can guess the answer to the following - pay attention to their skin color - do not lose sight of that - the obvious question why the minorities from Local 100 were excluded - ask yourself this question - why would you pay your own money (dues) to be excluded.

Maybe John Samuelsen can stomach to have minorities as his chauffeur, cooks, baggage handler, but not as equal to him. The other side of the coin is the mixture of Caribbean officers (spineless) that who have lowered themselves  to accept whatever Samuelsen dishes because of their weakness of not wanting to go back to their tools.

Now lets look who is who in Local 100, what their skin color director of education (David Tuck a retired Train operator African American can do that job), photographer (Tyrone McFadden a bus operator African American is an excellent photographer) Ainsley Stewart can write - there is no question there are minorities who are capable to run their own Local forward.
