Union Honors Transit Workers Who Served in 9/11 Rescue and Recovery
President Tony Utano and top officers recognized some of the three thousand transit workers who served in the rescue and recovery effort in a ceremony at the Union Hall on September 5th. Over 2100 were ordered to Ground Zero by NYCT, and hundreds more volunteered on their own time. Local 100 has mounted a campaign for public recognition of the work of union members on that day, and you can read more about that here. TWU Local mourns the loss of those killed in the attack on America, and we stand strong in supporting all responders who have illnesses from the toxic conditions at the World Trade Center site.
