Union Anger Over Delays in Prosecuting Bus Assault

OCTOBER 16 -- Local 100 VP Donald Yates, representing Manhattan and Bronx Bus Operators and Maintainers, took the court system to task for delays in prosecuting Rashon Eagle, who brutally assaulted Bus Operator Moses Adams at the end of his M15 Bus run at South Ferry in February. Also speaking outside the courthouse, Bus Division Operator Chair Sean Battaglia said the Union looks forward to what the People are demanding as a penalty -- five years' incarceration and five years' supervised release once the trial, which will begin next January, concludes.
