The TWU Welcomes Staff Analyst Titles to Union Family

TWU Local 100 proudly welcomes more than 500 new members to the union family.  They are the MABSTOA Staff Analysts and Associate Staff Analysts, who voted overwhelmingly to join the TWU in a contested union election conducted over the past month by the NYS Public Employment Relations Board.

PERB released the final vote count on Wednesday, August 9, 2017 – (216 for TWU; 41 for the Organization of Staff Analysts and 27 for no union).

Members at two other recently organized MABSTOA groups, the Comp & Telecom titles and Career and Salary titles, overwhelmingly ratified contracts bringing solid wage increases and other important gains. Those contract victories played a substantial role in the Staff Analysts election win.

In a message to the new members, TWU International and Local 100 President John Samuelsen said: “We were thrilled when PERB released the results of the union election demonstrating the overwhelming support for TWU among you and your co-workers.  We will not let you down. We will proceed determinedly to begin negotiations for a first contract to deliver what has been promised during the campaign.”

Samuelsen added: “We all look forward to moving forward together in unity.”
