Getting organized at Quality Transportation

On May 6, TWU Local 100 held an informational meeting for school bus workers who recently voted by an overwhelming margin to join Local 100. The purpose of the meeting was to keep the Brothers and Sisters at Quality in Brooklyn informed of the progress of the fight to install our union as their recognized bargaining agent.

Despite the 111-7 margin for Local 100 in the April 23 representation vote, Quality management has filed a series of protests with the NLRB to slow down the process, hoping to demoralize the Quality workers.

At the meeting, speaking for the union, Curtis Tate declared: “You are members of the TWU family.” Several Quality workers spoke, declaring their intent to stand together and stand by their vote.

The gathering concluded with a surprise birthday party for Nadine Jerome, a member of the organizing committee at Quality. We wish Nadine and the whole TWU Local 100 family at Quality many happy returns.
