We here in why did you join the union offer our condolences to the friends and family of Edwin Thomas. Today as members of TWU Local 100 we stand shoulder to shoulder united against assaults, attacks and violence that we have seen on TWU Local 100 members. The victims were innocent hard working members of TWU Local 100 who have had their lives destroyed. Not only have they suffered but their whole families have suffered as well. We are not going to accept the confidence of our safety being undermined. There can be no excuses and no justification. This behavior has disgusted us all in the TWU Local 100 and it cannot be allowed to stand, we will not allow it to stand.
As we are mourning the loss of life of Edwin Thomas our thoughts are with the family and friends. He was truly the face of TWU Local 100 which we are all proud of.
A 46-year-old New York City bus driver working his route in Brooklyn was stabbed to death on Monday afternoon by a passenger who did not pay the fare, sat down anyway, and later demanded a transfer ticket, the authorities said.
The driver, identified as Edwin Thomas, was operating a bus on the B46 line when he was stabbed at 12:28 p.m. at the intersection of Gates Avenue and Malcolm X Boulevard (also known as Reid Avenue) in Bedford-Stuyvesant, in the 81st Precinct.
Thursday, December 8th 2011 will mark the third anniversary at 4:30 p.m. Join your Union Brothers and Sisters as we hold a candlelight vigil for Bus Operator Edwin Thomas, who died in the line of duty. The gathering is in Brooklyn at the intersection of Gates Avenue and Malcolm X Blvd.
