Sticky Fingers John , where the money you collected, ($50,000.00 ) for The Haitian Relief Fund ?
These monies were donated by TWU Members for the Suffering people of Haiti. Not for your Pockets.
Sticky Fingers John, what have you done with the money ??
Have you Pocketed it, or sent it to the people of Haiti ??
We, the members, are demanding a Notarized Report of the monies collected, and Disbursement of said monies.
Patiently awaiting your response, Johnny Boy.

Cowards Of 80 West End (TWU Headquarters)
Meet the Cowards of 80 West End:
Samuelsen,Steve Downs, Tony Utano and Thomas Creegan are Union "Leaders" who are afraid to take a " Desk Appearance Ticket". Whilst others were being arrested for their beliefs and commitment; Shamuelsen, Downs, Utano and Creegan were in hiding.
Students and Women were arrested at The MTA Hearings in Queens and Manhattan-these are regular people who came and displayed their anger and disgust over The MTA's proposed service cuts and discontinuation of The Students MetroCards: They were not afraid to show anger and frustration and risk arrests. Transit Workers are faced with Layoffs, these are not proposals or threats, these are facts, but our "Leaders,"Shameless John, Downs, Utano and Creegan were as cold as cucumbers-no display of anger, disgust and or frustration. Why? Because they're cowards. They are not prepared to make the Ultimate sacrifice for the Membership. They will talk a good talk ; thats as far as they will go, but will not walk the walk to risk being arrested.
What a Shame!!
Shamuelsen had to save himself to make the next Video. While others were being Arrested.
If you haven't met the four, Shamuelsen, Utano, Creegan and Downs, you haven't met a Coward.
These Guys MUST GO!!

Samuelsen, Missing In Action...
Where's our Contract John?
Now that we got our Retro and 4% raise.
What happens to our monies from the 1.5% cap? When are we going to get it?
Where's the rest of our benefits? Like OTO, additional AVAs, etc.
You are unable to get a Contract, Toussaint won, fully implemented.
We elected you to get us, Contracts and save Jobs!
Not partial Contracts and full fledged Layoffs.
You have demonstrated your ineptness: Your lack of Courage , and that you are not up to the task.
We don't need 3 more years of you, Shameless John !!
It takes a Man to do a Man's Job, Shameless John !!
Get Lost !!
RESIGN !!!!

Shameless John
John, its time to get to Work:
Where are your Guts, Bravery and "Direct Action"?
Where is your Leadership Quality?
At a time when transit workers need Guidance and Reassurances of Job Security , You and Company find Solace and Comfort hiding behind the backs of Politicians under the Guise of "Broaden Coalition". Where are you John?
You're unable to save Transit Jobs and instead of Meeting with the Membership, you're running about pretending that You can Save the Students of New York City they Metro Card. Shameless John, stop the Farce. Stop fooling the Public.
Shameless John, we know that You are unable to Stop the Layoffs, Service Cuts and Closing of Buses and Trains Routes. Its time that you come Clean and tell us what Deals You have made, in other words, How Much You, Shameless John, have given Away-How many jobs are on The Chopping Block. Where is the Third Year of our the Contract?
Hiding behind the Politicians is not the Answer, Shameless John:
Cancelling The Mass Membership Meeting is not the Answer, Shameless John:
Making Videos is definitely not the Answer: Hollywood has more than enough Actors.
Its time that You Show Leadership, Shameless John.
You can Run, but You can't Hide!
We'll find You, Shameless John!!

Steve Downs: It's Time To Do The Right Thing
If Steve Downs, The Great Socialist, has any integrity, dignity, decency and self respect, he'll walk away from Shameless John Samuelsen:
To Stay is to support corruption and deceit.
It's your call Steve,
The ball is in your court,
Show us what you're made of,
Show some spine Steve and walk away. The fact is, you're a Socialist, as a Socialist how can you support Shameless John and company?
Do the right thing Steve,
The membership is watching!!

Samuelsen Shuts Union Hall; What Next?
Did you know that 35,ooo Transit Workers were left unprotected for a day? Yes ,Unprotected for a whole day. On February 10, Irresponsible John Samuelsen, declared an additional paid holiday,Snow Day, for himself and Staffers and shut down the operations of TWU . While most of us had to report to work for snow duty, or lose a day's pay if we hadn't an AVA,Unit Day,OTO or Sick Days in our balances; Samuelsen had no qualms giving himself and cronies an extra paid holiday. Lets pause for a moment; Bloomberg is proud to boast that in 8 years he has declared only 3 Snow Days: Irresponsible John in only 6 weeks has declared 1 Snow Day,with pay...go John, I'm proud of the way you're spending our dues..perks! perks! perks!
What's next to expect John? Back to the Old Days of?
1)Unlimited Sick?
2)Unlimited Vacation?
3)Cadillac Health Insurance?
4)No Show Jobs?
5)Nepotism?
6)20% Pay Raises?
Is this what Take Back Our Union-TBOU- stands for? The Days of Yore?

Dues arrears
Samuelsen has surely spent a lot of time and energy trying to nail Toussaint and the previous Executive Board for mishandling the Union's funds. He made a report to the "AM New York" newspaper about Toussaint spending $2M on the 2009 Family Day event. Is $2M too much to spend for due paying members to have quality time with their families and co-workers? As a proud member of The Mike Quill Club I say NO!! Your opinion may differ. I respect that. Why not ask the members who attended the Family Day their opinions.
But Samuelsen,if he's serious,should go after the $9M the members in bad standing owe TWU.But is he willing to? He's extremely quiet on this and there's a reason or reasons for this . After TWU lost the automatic due check off,Samuelsen led the Charge encouraging members not to pay dues(burn the village). As Commander-in-Chief, Samuelsen did not only led the "Don't pay the Dues Campaign",aside from putting out flyers edging members on not to pay dues ,he also appeared before the Executive Board, on several occasions, defending non due paying members. In other words, he was the defender of excuses why members should not pay dues.
What Samuelsen should do, along with Tony Utano,VP MoW,is man up and take full responsibility for the $9M unpaid Union dues . He along with Utano,the second(2nd) in command, proudly led the Campaign,"Don't pay your dues Unless...."Do you remember that Campaign John? Tony do you remember the part you played in that campaign?
Now, I implore Samuelsen, to go after his friends-the" Dues Dodgers "to recoup the arrears($9M).This may create some problems for Shameless John Samuelsen since he has on Union's payroll an alarming number of "Due Dodgers"-To name a few, Marvin Holland(Director of Political Action Committee),David Francis(Chair of Elections Committee),Charles Jenkins(Director of Organizing) and Keith Cummings(TWU Safety)If Shameless John Samuelsen is serious about the Financial Health of TWU and have any respect for the majority of us who stood up to our responsibilities,and heed the call when our Union needed us most and paid our dues as real proud union brothers and sisters he would not have employed the likes of Holland, Francis, Cummings and Jenkins( Jenkins was overheard on the shop floor telling members not to pay dues). I urge every member in good standing to let your voices be heard and demand Shameless John return the "Dues Dodgers " to their tools.
I'll further suggest to Shameless John to form a team, spear- headed by his "dues dodging friends," Holland, Francis, Jenkins and Cummings to go into the field and vigorously collect from their "dues dodging friends" dues arrears. After all the "dues dodgers" were listening to Samuelsen, Utano and company battle cry"Don't pay your dues Unless..."Now that Shameless John has removed the "Unless"there should be no problems collecting the back dues($9M) Remember the old adage, "it takes a thief to catch a thief"-translates,"it takes a due dodger to collect from a due dodger". The monies collected can be used to pay the salaries of Holland, Francis, Cummings and Jenkins. Don't worry these guys are great at persuasion; they will be successful guys

Samuelsen slams the MTA,but it doesn't help the Membership
John Samuelsen, its time you stop the boasting and puffing of your chest and get to work. Your claim of slamming the MTA is just empty rhetoric. No one that makes a difference in the MTA is aware of any slamming. It seems more like Jay Walder, MTA Chair, has his feet way up your rear end. If not where are our raises the court awarded us over two months ago? Maybe your posturing and grand standing are swelling your ego, but not the pockets of Transit Workers. Where the ' dough' John? Stop the grand standing and bring us the money. Our patience is wearing thin.
Remember, we elected you to get us money and benefits not Politicians and Newspapers.
Where the 'Dough',John?

Samuelsen...Where's the Dough??
Samuelsen,show us the" dough".The judge ruled about eight(8) weeks ago that the TA must pay the MONEY awarded by the Arbitration panel. It has been about eight(8)weeks and counting..Where's the "Dough" Samuelsen??

Joining a broad coalition of politicians and slamming the MTA are things Toussaint were doing and are the things you were against..John,"Where is your "Direct Action"that you promised will bring us our contract?
Toussaint won us a contract, but John you are unable to Deliver...Where's the "Dough"??How long must we wait??
We elected you to get us MONEY not Politicians..Where's the "DOUGH" John??

Steve Downs......4 Term E. Board Member,2 Term Chair
Its about time RTO members hold Steve Downs feet to the fire.Downs has been a 4 Term Executive Board Member and a 2 Term Chair.Its time for Downs to answer the hard questions.What have you done for the RTO Department?Write ups are about the same.T/Os and C/Rs are being taken out of service as frequently as before.For the years 2006-2009,as Chair of the Dept., what have you accomplished/achieved?The picks haven't got any better on your watch.In the 2005 contract Toussaint made it possible that T/Os and C/Rs can report to work up to two(2)hours late and still work(will not be taken out of service).Prior to 2005 T/Os or C/Rs reporting one(1) second late was taken out of service and sent to Labor Relations at 2 Broadway-translating into(lost of pay) no work for that day and possible the following day,depending on the time of the day and the day of the week.
Downs has been and is still your representative for the past sixteen(16)years,.one of the longest serving reps. in the history of Local 100.What has he done?RTO is still the most abused Department in The New York City Transit.T/Os and C/Rs are taken Out Of Service at the whims and fantasy of RTO Management.
What has change?Nothing.Downs ,its time for you to publish your record of excellence.

Word of advise to David(shattered integrity)Francis-Samuelsen's newly appointed Chair of the Elections Committee- do the right thing Francis, and refuse your newly appointed position.Do not be Samuelsen's stooge pigeon.Do not Take Back Our Union(TBOU) to the days of rigged elections.Be your own man and say" to hell with you John"to Shameless Samuelsen.Don't be the hand that will turn elections into selections.Don't be fooled by Shameless Samuelsen,he wants, "by any means necessary"to make Marvin Holland(member in bad standings) the Selected Section Chair of Cleaners in the Station Dept.Lets not forget Shameless Samuelsen stole TBOU from Marvin Holland-The Founder of TBOU.Shameless John,Is this your way of saying to Holland we are even,I stole TBOU from you,now I'm going to steal the elections for you?
Its any one's guess-Thats Shameless John Samuelsen!!

Samuelsen...is he for real or a fake??
John Samuelsen spent the last four(4)years bashing Toussaint's administration.Although I do not agree with everything Toussaint and company did;its time for Samuelsen to move on,he was elected to lead TWU Local 100 .In these troubling times we(the members)need him to addresses the bread and butter issues facing not only transit workers,but the entire working class of America.But apparently Samuelsen is most comfortable mud slinging than dealing with the issues he was elected to solve.
Lets reflect on the man elected to lead TWU Local 100 thirty five thousand(35000)membership:
Prior to the elections of 2000,Samuelsen was the Darling of Toussaint.Toussaint pulled him up by his boot straps,taught him all he knows.Toussaint went as far as making Samuelsen the Acting VP of MoW;he acted as VP for the better part of four(4)years .How did Samuelsen repaid Toussaint... by stabbing him in the back. Is Samuelsen for real or fake??
After the strike of 2005,Samuelsen submitted his time sheet to be paid for the time the rest of us was on strike.When caught,instead of standing up and accept responsibility he blamed one of the Secretaries in the General Office for submitting a time sheet signed by Samuelsen..Is Samuelsen for real or a fake??
After being in the E.Board meetings(meetings are held once per month)for four years,and participated in all the discussions and plans and agreed to the selling of the building(80 W/End)Samuelsen is posturing as though he's clean.The fact is,he's part of the team that agreed to the building sale...Is Samuelsen for real or a fake??
In the Track Division meeting,12/24/09,Samuelsen told track workers that his priorities are (a)to stop mid-week RDO's in the track division,and(b)stop the four(4) day work week pilot program. As of yesterday he is claiming that Toussaint's administration on,12/28/09,submitted to theTA a request to stop the program..Lies...Is Samuelsen for real or a fake??
At the E.Board meeting on,1/25/10,Samuelsen reported that monies from the building sale were used to offset some of the Union's expenses.In yesterday's Track Division meeting,Samuelsen reported that $14 million is unaccounted for.Lets not forget this is the same Samuelsen who for the past three years accused Toussaint of skimming off $17 million to build a house in Trinidad.Samuelsen make up your mind and tell us how much money is missing.Is Samuelsen for real or a fake??
Samuelsen is the guy when he was on the outside decried The Track Safety Task Force but was reported as saying,"I'm going to leave it alone"..Is Samuelsen for real or a fake??
I started by saying that its time Samuelsen addresses our bread and butter issues.Toussaint left us with a three year contract that we won in the courts.From recent reports,it seems as though the TA is going to honor two years and the third is up in the air.Samuelsen boasted that he met with Walder-MTA Chief-but is mum on the third year of our contract.Samuelsen,come clean-Transit Workers will like to know what's up with the third year.Toussaint left a three year contract,the least you can do is secure the third year,hope you didn't give it back to Walder.

Samuelsen's Staffers Profile
Samuelsen spent several months touting that he'll bring democracy and unity to Local 100,its only fair that portraits of his Staffers are made public.Here's a snap shot of some:

To be continued.
Appeal:Readers please post pics. of these characters

Three Blind Mice...Samuelsen,Downs, Creegan
1) John Samuelsen(MoW):Spent the last eighteen(18)months decrying our contract.Today he's taking credit for a contract he bad mouthed and worked to see its failure:(a)he encouraged Transit Workers to boycott(that's after he encouraged them,for about two years, not to pay Union dues)every effort out of our Union Hall that will mobilize the membership to demonstrate,picket and walk Brooklyn Bridge so as to put pressure on the MTA to hasten granting our contract.(b)He was quoted "these efforts are a waste of time and the only way to get a contract is by Direct Action"Samuelsen,you played no part or participated in any way.Stop taking credit...Shame on you...Hypocrite!!
2)Steve Downs(RTO):Please do your math!(a) 11% is not really 11%,Toussaint and Roberts are scamming Transit Workers out of $5000.00 per man.(b)Carried out a campaign "If I had to vote,I will vote no on the contract",but is on record saying Transit Workers are deserving of the contract.
You can't have it both ways Downs;is the contract a good contract or not?Or bad mouthing the contract was just a political ploy to get votes...Opportunist..Shame on you Downs you're nothing but a two cent Opportunist!!
3)Thomas Creegan(PD):"Bloomberg is not to be blamed for us not having a contract;Toussaint and TWU should be blaming Govt.Patterson and not Mike Bloomberg"My question,is our contract a good contract or not?Answer the question.
To the three(3)Blind Mice,Samuelsen,Downs and Creegan,do us(New York City Transit Workers,TWU members)and yourselves a great favor and reject the contract-There's no law that legally binds you to accepting it-you can reject,reopen and renegotiate,so show us some balls and renegotiate.Two(2) years is too long a wait.Shut up or put up..Where's the beef.
2)Steve Downs(RTO):Please do your math!(a) 11% is not really 11%,Toussaint and Roberts are scamming Transit Workers out of $5000.00 per man.(b)Carried out a campaign "If I had to vote,I will vote no on the contract",but is on record saying Transit Workers are deserving of the contract.

Marvin Holland
Good Standing members beware: Samuelsen has betrayed every Transit Worker who stood with the Local for eighteen(18) months and do the right thing by paying dues.Today samuelsen stood to his promise of forgiving members in bad standing and appointed Marvin Holland Director of Political Action Committee(PAC). Holland was removed from the ballot as a member in bad standing(was not paying his union dues).To add insult to injury Samuelsen has put Holland in charge of the monies the Union is collecting to help our brothers and sisters in Haiti.We must contribute to assist the people of Haiti,for those of us who are going to donate through TWU instead of one of the other established Organizations,I urge you to demand an offical receipt.
Is Holland Samuelsen's bag man?
