As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, we’re proud to spotlight TA Surface Vice President Gary Rosario and the Puerto Rican heritage that has helped shape his life and leadership.

“I am honored to have been raised as a Puerto Rican by my grandparents. They taught me the importance of family, the value of serving others, the strength to face life’s challenges, and the beauty of our music and traditions.”

Gary carries those lessons and that pride with him every day.

¡Orgullo Boricua! ¡Orgullo Hispano!

Registration is open for the annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk, which will take place this year at Orchard Beach in the Bronx.

You can join us in fundraising during Breast Cancer Awareness Month by participating in the walk and donating directly to Local 100’s fundraising team.

The money will not only go to breast cancer research grants, but also to fund the 24/7 helpline for cancer patients and their caregivers, free transportation to chemotherapy appointments, and free lodging near hospitals and treatment centers for patients and their families.

Yesterday Administrative VP Alexander Kemp, accompanied by TA Surface VP Gary Rosario and a panel of Bus Operators, visited City Hall to discuss dangers on the road for our members who move millions above ground.

The group brought up concerns about the modifications of traffic infrastructure and increasing amounts of operational hazards on the streets of New York.

This was the first of many meetings to come, and will include visits to depots from the Mayor’s Office to hear from more of the Operators who are on the front lines.

Today’s shopgate at Tuskegee Depot brought members together for a direct update on our contract fight.

President John V. Chiarello explained what’s holding up negotiations: Transit’s push for medical contributions that would double what members pay now, despite the MTA’s influx of congestion pricing and casino money.

Members took these jobs for decent wages, good medical benefits and a pension. Chiarello made clear he’s fighting to protect that foundation.

Joining him were Secretary-Treasurer Carlos Bernabel, MaBSTOA Director Mike Rehn, Division Chair Sean Battaglia, and Transportation and Maintenance division and section officers.

With rallies and events overflowing, members are showing the strength behind this fight. As Chiarello put it: “I’m trying to build back a real labor movement.”

Stay united. Keep showing up.

Today TWU Local 100 was back in court for yet another hearing in the case of Alexander Wright, who attacked our member, Cleaner Anthony Nelson, in the Pelham Bay Park Station in 2022.

Here’s the case by the numbers: in the four years since Anthony suffered the brutal beating, he has undergone three surgeries and there have been 37 hearings, many of them having to do with the fitness of Wright to stand trial.

Wright has been shuttled between mental health facilities and jail since attacking Anthony, and is currently in Rikers Island. For now he has been deemed fit to stand trial, but that could change.

Stations VP Robert Kelley vowed after this morning’s hearing to keep returning to court and push for justice.

At today’s New Hires Class we welcomed new members from the Car Equipment Department and Maintenance of Way.

Officers from M.O.W (Line Equipment Signals Division Chair Chris Canty, LES 1st Vice Chair Pernell Valdivieso, LES 4th Vice Chair William Bolar and Structure Vice Chair Billy Taaffe) reminded members that working for the MTA is not just a job but a career that will enable them to achieve the American Dream and the role the union plays in supporting that dream. Meanwhile, CED Executive Board member Hector Correa told new members that if their train is delayed, making them late for work, it’s on them to prove that’s what caused them to show up late.

Fortunately, we have language in the contract that excuses lateness caused by delays in New York City Transit.
