TWU Local 100 In The Blogosphere

Thursday, December 15, 2005

While making our way through the blogosphere, we noticed a Transport Workers Union Local 100 blog.

The blog can be found here.

Some of the highlights from the TWU Local 100 Blog's section on what to do if there's a strike:

"If the MTA forces Local 100 out on strike, we will continue to put safety first. As always, local 100 members will meet our responsibility for the safety of our riders for the safety of all transit workers for the safe maintenance of the equipment we will use when the strike ends."

"Local 100 members shall make sure that the entire mass transit system is shut down safely and efficiently at the beginning of the strike. Then Local 100 members shall make sure that the system stays shut down for the duration of the strike."

"No bus is to be abandoned on the street after the strike begins."

"Chain and lock each station turnstile at 12:01 a.m."

"Stairway gaters and high gates shall remain open to allow passengers to leave the system."

"Lock up all tools and equipment, all toilets, and elevator cars."

"Emergency lighting is to be left on and power for drainage and ventilation in tunnels is to be maintained."
