President John V. Chiarello Meets with PBA Leadership to Advance Shared Safety Priorities

APRIL 21 -- Last Friday, TWU Local 100 President John V. Chiarello secured a meeting with the Patrick Hendry, President of the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association (PBA) to address growing concerns around safety across the transit system. That meeting took place as scheduled today, April 21, 2025 marking an important step forward in building collaboration between our two unions. The conversation focused on how TWU Local 100 and the PBA can work together to improve safety outcomes for transit workers, police officers, and the riding public.

Both unions recognize that frontline workers are facing escalating challenges, and that stronger coordination is essential. This initial discussion set the stage for an ongoing partnership rooted in shared priorities: greater presence in high-risk areas, faster response protocols, and improved communication between transit and law enforcement personnel. We thank the PBA for their partnership and look forward to continued engagement that delivers real protections for the men and women who keep New York City moving.
