The Governor’s statement regarding this strike once it began was just an Anti Union smear!

Shame on Governor Hochul, attacking the men and women represented by five Unions rather than calling out the arrogance and ineptitude of MTA management is just outrageous.

We would understand this statement coming from an elected official that did not seek and have labor support but we guess nothing should surprise us lately.

When people show you who they are, believe them!

Each year on Workers’ Memorial Day, we pause to remember those who left for work and never returned. Their absence is a solemn reminder of why we must never stop fighting for safer workplaces. Let’s honor their memory by committing to protect all working Americans.

It is not an accident, it is all by design.

The harsh economic conditions facing Americans was done purposefully so to enchants the wealth and power of the few at the expense of the many!

When faced with a problem, never get confused or influenced by the shiny objects your opponents flood the zone with, identify the root cause and Organize, Build Power, Win Justice!
