TWU Celebrates at the Dominican Day Parade 2017

SUNDAY, AUGUST 13 -- TWU Local 100 pulled out all the stops to make our 2017 Dominican Day Parade celebration the best ever. Proudly marching with the first US Congressman of Dominican heritage, Adriano Espaillat, TWU International and Local 100 President John Samuelsen led the union's leadership up 6th Avenue. Local 100's impressive float and costumed traditional dancers were a special attraction that energized the crowds. Earlier we served traditional Dominican fare to the 200 union members and families who came to the event. A political breakfast in Inwood began the day, where Congressman Espaillat, Public Advocate Tish James, Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer, and other friends of the TWU enjoyed mangu and salchichon. TWU Local 100 t-shirts highlighting Dominican heritage were given to all attendees. Enjoy the show!
