TWU Marches in Dominican Day Parade; Samuelsen Honored

Spirits were high on August 10 as TWU Local 100 members marched up Sixth Avenue as part of the Dominican Day Parade. Front and center with the TWU-ers was Schoolbus Shop  Steward Viviana Guzman (in white), who also attended the earlier Dominican Day breakfast in Washington Heights, where TWU Local 100 President John Samuelsen was honored with the Community Service Award presented by Dominican political leaders including Councilman Ydanis Rodriguez and State Senator Adriano Espaillat. Both politicians have a strong record of supporting mass transit funding and have joined Local 100 in our campaigns.
