Another informative and powerful Progressive Action show with special guests Jack Desena and Marjorie Johnson, both of MTA Bus, and with well over 25 years of active service. These members were "railroaded" by TWU Local 100 President John Samuelsen and his team. Jack and Marjorie failure of "going along to get along" inside the Samuelsen administration resulted in them getting removed from the union through a "kangaroo court" proceeding, which many considered unethical, unprincipled and even fraudulent.
This show also focuses on the harassment, intimidation and incompetence of the elected officer of the Division Chair of MTA Surface. This elected union rep has a reputation to threaten members off and online, use derogatory slurs to describe union members, and put the private business/matters of members on the internet.
All these actions are undoubtedly supported by TWU local 100 president John Samuelsen and even encouraged. This type of ineptitude must come to an end and shouldn't be tolerated by the membership.
Its time for the members to wake up, stand up and hold all of our elected reps responsible for their actions and take back our union!
