Mr. Rosario entered the MTA in 1986 as a CTA
In 1988 I became a Gang Shop Steward for the Cleaners @ Concoure Mtce Shop.
The Union at that time was pretty much like the present Administration. Very little help. He had to learn how to be a rep the hard way and was constantly targeted by management. In his first 10 years working for the MTA, he almost quit the job twice out of the frustration of trying to do the right thing.
It was only when Roger Toussaint took office in 2000 that he saw hope and a turnaround of things. The Rep who found him and empowered him was Vernon Thorpe.
It was during this time of education and enlightenment that he met Joe Campbell, Rodney Glenn, Ed Watt and so many good people that are too many to mention. He took every training that was available to learn his trade as a rep.
He was elected to the E- Board twice. He was a Division Vice Chair for CTA's. He co-founded a Union sanction Newsletter called the Phoenix.
Max was also a Union delegate to the International Convention 2008.
