WINS report on SA Assault

Eulogy For Mike Quill by Shirley Quill

With another tough summer ahead for transit workers – and with assaults and spitting incidents on the rise – TWU Local 100 President Tony Utano has launched a new ad campaign on the City’s most listened to radio station, 1010 WINS, to spotlight the tough, dangerous work Local 100 members perform 24-7-365 to move New York City.

'TWU, We Move New York'

1010 WINS is now airing the third in a series of one-minute radio spots, produced by TWU Local 100, highlighting how transit workers move New York City and contribute on and off the job to our communities.  President Tony Utano introduced the series by talking about the hazards faced by transit workers every day. The new spot features recently retired Brooklyn Bus Operator Tarek Abdelghany, who arrived from Eqypt in 1985 knowing no one in New York and with few financial resources.  He happily announces in the spot that his son, Mohammed, will be attending Harvard Law School.  You can hear the spot on 1010 WINS throughout the day and right here.
