Tony Utano Discusses Assaults on Labor Press Radio's "Blue Collar Buzz"
SUNDAY, JUNE 10 -- TWU Local 100 President Tony Utano went on labor press's radio show, "Blue Collar Buzz" over the weekend to talk about the continuing issue of assaults on transit workers -- mainly Bus Operators, Conductors, and Train Operators -- who are the face of the MTA to a public increasingly angry over schedule changes and delays due to system upgrades. Even though the Subway Action Plan will result in improved service, many New Yorkers appear to be taking out their frustration on the MTA employees they see on their every day commutes. President Utano addresses the issue on the show. He is also convening ongoing meetings with public officials including Brooklyn DA Eric Gonzalez. Hear the show here:
