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.
