Letters to the Editor: TWU Quarrel a Local Matter To the Editor: Your editorial "Rein in Toussaint's Abuses" (Jan. 18 issue) requires that I correct The Chief's misconception of the relationship between Local 100, TWU and the Transport Workers Union of America (the International). More ... DC 37 MUST MOBILIZE To the Editor: The current economic downturn poses serious problems for District Council 37's contract negotiations. We must not allow the city to use it as an excuse to lower wage and benefit offers. We don't know, because DC 37 delegates are not informed as to the details of negotiations. More ... COP'S JOB TOUGHER To the Editor: I have had the pleasure of being both a New York City Correction Officer for seven years and a NYC Police Officer for two years. While both jobs are very demanding and stressful and deserve a fair wage, I have to agree with Pat Lynch that the Police Officers deserve a higher wage. More ...

SANIT KEEPS IT CLEAN To the Editor: I spent 34 years with Sanitation, and during those years we were bashed again and again by the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association. I'll never forget the infamous billboard affair. They spent over $60,000 on billboards bashing "garbagemen." We were bashed by the firefighters union.... More ... TIME FOR A BUYOUT? To the Editor: It would seem to me that this would be an excellent time for New York City and State to offer buyout plans to many of their senior workers. To pre-emptively address the coming fiscal crisis would be exercising sound judgment. More ... OBAMA AND REAGAN To the Editor: In death and over time, Ronald Reagan has become the greatest President in U.S. history - to all those Republicans who pretend that Ronald Reagan practiced his own conservative philosophy. Actually, he and George H. W. More ... WHY TWU IS LIABLE To the Editor: Regarding the Jan. 4 article "TWU Premium Freeze Sought," clarification is needed on our lawsuit against the Transport Workers Union and the Metropolitan Transit Authority. TWU did indeed conceal the medical contribution, which resulted in Local 100 President Damaso Seda resigning... More ... |
