If Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) locals 726 and 1056 are unable to get their contracts in order and are still working with no contract then they have to blame themselves for that. However we in the TWU Local 100 believe in the principle of no contract no work. ATU 726 and 1056 like to talk on both sides of their mouths - the proof is that they are working with no contract. Thank god we are not part of Amalgamated Transit Union - we in the TWU Local 100 say no contract no work. It is obvious those ATU 726 and 1056 phonies with their misguided nonsense put their members in peril by working without a contract.
We would like to ask those ATU 726 and 1056 what they did for us when we had the strike of 2005? When we had the lay off of 2010 what did they do for us? You know the answer. However we speculate Larry Hanley the ATU International president has noted John Samuelsen’s desire to be photographed. Thus he got his useless cronies to put John Samuelsen as a co chair of the MTA Labor Coalition. Since they are unable to fight their own fight they need help from TWU Local 100. However there must be a cost for them to pay for our support.
For the past couple of weeks much has been said about the MTA Labor Coalition - we have seen those useless buttons it is clear Angelo Tanzi of ATU Local 726 and I. Daneek Miller of ATU 1056 are unable to secure a contract for their members. They turned their sights to Transport Workers Union Local 100 - they enticed John Samuelsen president of TWU Local 100 to be co chair of the MTA Labor Coalition. We know John Samuelsen’s weakness he works the cameras flash and video wonders.
Since those ATU 726 and 1056 are not adhering to the no contract no work principle - we here in why did you join the union believe they are phonies, just like that all that glitters is not gold. Tanzi and Miller talk on both sides of their mouth the proof is in the pudding they are working without a contract for the Amalgamated Transit Union ATU 726 and 1056. We definitely do not want to combine with the phonies who could not get a contract.
It is clear Tanzi and Miller are unable to sit face to face and negotiate with the MTA thus they could not or have not achieved anything yet for their members who have been working without a contract for a long time. They call themselves a union but they are useless that is why they are putting their members in mortal peril. We here in why did you join the union are reminding John Samuelsen that we are the Transport Workers Union Local 100 and we should not hitch our wagon to the stars of ATU.
Tanzi and Miller are using every excuse possible for being unable to deliver a contract to their members. They must be told we are TWU Local 100 - we move New York thus whenever they see a TWU Local 100 member they should stand up and salute that member.
