Union

TWU Local 100 is proud to announce our support for candidates who are the strongest Public Transportation and Labor candidates in their respective races. Ben Kallos has demonstrated great knowledge and commitment to working with our union to improve public transit in New York. Affordable, reliable, and safe Public Transportation is a basic right of all New Yorkers, and we look forward to working with Ben to promote public transit investments on the City level. TWU Local 100 will do everything we can to get him elected.

President John Samuelsen

When it was brought to his attention that the MTA was taking yet another Union to interest arbitration after failing to reach an agreement, he began an inquiry into the contracts of the former MTA Chairmen. He has questioned the rationale that while having hired two separate Chairmen since 2009, the MTA has been unsuccessful in reaching an agreement with any of it’s represented workforce ... Elected officials must realize that the problems our City faces can not be solved on the backs of the working class. With Ben Kallos, we will have a voice in City Hall.

It is essential that we elect candidates who have not only performed this kind of work with their own two hands, but understand the technology that is essential to keep our City communicating today and in the future ... Where corporate welfare from windfall City contracts have become the norm, Ben will fight for fair contracts promoting competition to provide adequate community benefits and a living wage that working families need for the City to be sustainable.  When those that took windfall contracts in the past fail to make good on their promises, Ben will have the courage to organize with us against big corporations to keep them to their word.
