Transport Workers Union Local 100, the union representing tens of thousands of rank-and-file New York City Transit employees, has elected a new president, elevating Secretary-Treasurer Richard Davis to one of the city's most influential labor positions.
“I promise to work tirelessly on your behalf and put your needs first,” Davis said in a statement. “I will never stop working to make improvements on multiple key fronts, including safety, job security, your quality of life and your ability to take care of your families.”
“I will be immediately sending teams into the field as part of an internal organizing and membership outreach campaign,” said Davis. “I believe it’s vitally important that your voices be heard as we chart a course for the future. We also must be ready to mobilize to face any obstacles that are placed in our way.”
