We can do more


TWU Local 100 should move out of ‘serving’ philosophy that our employer has seen us in a decline mode which enabled the management to push us around at their will. That is we cannot be seen as our main function as servicing our existing membership, getting more money and benefits and policing the collective bargaining agreements.

We must have high-stakes showdown with Governor Andrew Cuomo that will provide a much-needed shot in the arm to a labor movement that feels like it's on life support. We must demonstrate that the strike is still among labor's most powerful weapons, upending conventional wisdom that public employees are inevitably at odds with taxpayers which Governor Cuomo has peddled around.
