TWU Local 100 mourns the passing of Brooklyn District Attorney Ken Thompson, at the age of 50, from cancer. DA Thompson was a shining star in Brooklyn, an outspoken leader in the criminal justice arena, and a solid supporter of transit workers. DA Thompson attended TWU Local 100’s rally in support of a good contract in October of 2013 on the anniversary of Super Storm Sandy and spoke powerfully at our Black History Celebration on February 25, 2015. His speech at our event is a fitting commemoration of Ken Thompson’s values and what he stood for.
