Station cleaner Anthony Staley just called to say he is also running as an indpendent for president of Transport Workers Union Local 100.
That makes four opposition candidates to Roger Toussaint. Must be good news for him. Staley says:
“I’m running on my own slate as an indepdent. Most of those guy are already in office and they showed what they capable of doing. These are the same guys and they are playing musical chairs. All of these guys have done nothing”
Staley said he would focus on real concerns for the members like getting the their health benefit claims and discplinary hearings sorted out.
The 1.5% for health insurance that Toussaint bargained was “foolish,” he said.
Staley added that the strike was wrong. “I only walked out in solidarity with my co-workers. Not in support of Roger.”
