FEBRUARY 24 -- The fourth annual Daily News Hometown Heroes of Transit is featured in today's paper, recapping yesterday's outstanding breakfast at the Edison Ballroom in midtown that showcased TWU Local 100 members who acted above and beyond the call of duty to help members of the public. In stories variously heart-warming and filled with drama, celebrity presenters like WCBS's Mary Calvi and WNBC's Darlene Rodriguez talked about the acts that merited these prestigious awards. TWU Local 100 President John Samuelsen expressed his pride in our members and their awards, and newly appointed NYCT CEO Ronnie Hakim also named and praised the TWU.
