TWU's Joe Sclafani: We don't want Brooklyn Bridge rerun
Via NY1:
The Transport Workers Union didn’t want a repeat of what happened on the Brooklyn Bridge, where some 700 demonstrators had been arrested.
"Two weeks ago, our bus drivers, nearly 20 buses were commandeered by the police department, and they were forced to take prisoners, which is clearly not their job,” said Joe Sclafani of the TWU. “Our drivers are not going to be taking any prisoners. If the police want to use these buses, they’ll use them. Our drivers are not here to aid the police in arresting people."
