John Samuelsen I

Prior to John Samuelsen taking the leadership of Transport Workers Union, Local 100, there were no scholarships granted to children of the membership. 

It is a fact members were struggling with their children’s college tuition. As we now know college is a costly endeavor. There are expenses such as dormitory, nutrition, books, laundry etc. The list of costs is endless. 

There is no question that members aspire for their children to advance in ascending the economy ladder in the future. We wish all members that may their dreams come true.

John Samuelsen realized that his fellow co workers need a helping hand - he worked hard to create the scholarship fund which now aids the membership. It was the right thing and he did it. Therefore he deserves acknowledgement, praise and cheer. It clearly indicates that he is not selfish which shows that he wishes well to all the membership.
