We Celebrate Italian Heritage at the Hall

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 24 -- TWU Local 100 celebrated Italian Night 2017 in style, saluting our first Italian-American President, Tony Utano. Tony first thanked his parents, then his Union family, for their support in his long career as union official culminating in his appointment as TWU Local 100 President. Introduced by John Chiarello, now Vice President of MOW, Tony vowed to fight as hard for every Department and Division in the Union as he has for MOW. He drew special attention to the strike authorization vote that has just been held at First Mile Square, a school bus property in Yonkers that's facing managers who refuse to honor their request for wages on par with other school bus companies in Westchester. He also called on all members to donate to the Union's new fundraising site for hurricane relief. International President John Samuelsen proudly commended Tony Utano on his appointment while also taking the time to address the TWU of America's latest fight against outsourcing of union jobs at American Airlines. Entertaining the crowd before a festive dinner was Major League ballplayer Lee Mazzilli, who also shared his pride in his Italian Heritage. Enjoy the photos!
