TWU Stands in Solidarity With BLET -- On Strike Against NJ Transit

A Joint statement from Transport Workers Union Local 100 President John V. Chiarello and TWU International President John Samuelsen:
 
MAY 16 -- We stand with the NJ Transit engineers, our brothers and sisters in the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen, who are on strike for a fair contract. These are the workers who power the system every day, and they deserve to be treated with respect and paid what they are worth.
 
Whether it is in New York or New Jersey, transit workers show up every day to keep people moving. Their fight is about more than wages. It is about being valued for the critical work they do. We support their push for fair pay, back pay, and a deal that reflects their importance to the region.
 
TWU Local 100 and The TWU International are with you. Your fight is our fight. And make no mistake, every union worker in this city is paying attention.
