Italian Night at the Union Hall Features NYS Comptroller Tom DiNapoli
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25 -- Tom DiNapoli, sole Trustee of New York State's pension fund, joined TWU Local 100 leadership and rank and file members to celebrate the Italian heritage of transit workers. In a keynote address, DiNapoli vowed that the MTA's budget would not be balanced on the backs of transit workers. He was given a plaque by the Union. President Utano, the first Italian-American President of our Union, warmly welcomed transit rank and file to the event, introducing his family and first grandchild, Nina Fay. Union leadership at the event included our top four officers and most of our Vice Presidents, including newly elected VP of Maintenance of Way John V. Chiarello, who introduced Brother Utano.
