AUGUST 6 -- Local 100 officers did a walkthrough today with management to inspect new crew quarters for train crews on the 2/5 lines at the corner of Nostrand Avenue. This much needed new facility features air conditioning, heat, TV, refrigerator, microwave, restroom and other amenities for a comfortable break area. The space will replace the current crew quarters at Flatbush Avenue, which is among the smallest in the system.
After a few final touches, the facility could be available for use as soon as next week. Local 100 President Tony Utano, RTO VP Eric Loegel, VP and Chief of Staff Richard Davis and RTO reps Jesse Argueta and Jose Melendez were on hand.
