Members at Quality Bus Empowered at First Union Hall Meeting

October 10 was a milestone for TWU Local 100. New members at Quality and Brothers Bus Companies in Brooklyn, who were organized by TWU over the summer, came out to their first union meeting. This is the first new property organized by the union in some time. And the drivers and mechanics we now represent at Quality are enthusiastic about their new-found power to negotiate with their employer. At a meeting co-chaired by Local 100's Curtis Tate and Attorney Polly Halfkenny, dozens of members from Quality -- who voted to begin paying union dues even without a first contract -- got an update on negotiations and were educated on the history of the TWU. There was a lively discussion on contract proposals and a breakout session to discuss bargaining strategies. Welcome to the fold!
