Today is Juneteenth!

Despite the Emancipation Proclamation taking effect on January 1, 1863, Confederate control prevented full implementation in Confederate states. Even after the Confederacy surrendered in April 1865, slavery still existed in parts of the country, particularly in Texas.

On June 19, 1865, the Union Army arrived in Galveston, Texas and encountered people still held in slavery. That’s when a general order was issued by the Army to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation and free all remaining slaves in the state.

In December of 1865, chattel slavery was finally made illegal in the United States with the passage of the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

TWU Local 100 proudly recognizes Juneteenth as a day to recommit our union to the ongoing fight for equality in our workplace, and social justice in our communities.

When people think of the TWU, they think of our membership at MTA New York City Transit— our largest employer, with 40,000 members.

But Local 100 also represents thousands of members at school bus companies throughout NYC, Westchester County, Connecticut, and right here at Quality Bus in East New York.

School buses is one of our fastest growing parts of the union, with new properties organized every year. Today, President John V. Chiarello, along with Treasurer Carlos Bernabel and PBL VP Danny D’Amato, visited the Quality Bus yard in Brooklyn for their annual employee appreciation summer barbecue.

President Chiarello and VP D’Amato expressed their gratitude for the important work school bus drivers, monitors, and mechanics do. As Quality Bus prepares for their own contract negotiations, Chiarello told the members to be ready to fight— because the bosses don’t give up anything easily, as we know from our current contract struggle against the MTA!

In honor of the New York Knicks 2026 championship win, we’re taking it back to 1973 when they brought their second NBA title to New York City.

Fifty three years ago, New Yorkers paid their subway and bus fare with 35 cent tokens. The newest subway cars were the R44 models, introduced between 1971 and 1973 to replace the aging R1-9 series.

The TWU held its 14th Constitutional Convention that year, with International President Matthew Guinan at the helm, and Daniel Gilmartin the Local 100 President.

Today, we celebrate our third championship title. Let’s go Knicks!

TWU Local 100 joined faith, labor and elected leaders today at a Faith Leaders & Labor Leaders Roundtable on Autonomous Vehicles hosted by the Yemeni American Merchants Association in the Bronx.

As automation and AI continue to expand, President John V. Chiarello spoke about the need to protect workers and the jobs that keep New York moving.

“We don’t accept this as a people. We don’t accept what they’re putting out there. I’m here for the working people of New York.”

From buses and subways to every corner of the transportation industry, Local 100 is fighting to keep skilled workers on the job, protect good union careers, and make sure technology works for people, not the other way around.

The future of transportation must include transportation professionals — the ones with real intelligence, not Artificial Intelligence.
