MTA's Fabricated Overtime Crisis

Sat, 05/11/2019 - 12:00pm

TWU International President, John Samuelsen responses to the fabricated overtime crisis at the Emergency MTA Board Meeting on Friday, May 10th.  https://youtu.be/P9Jd7Mxb9sA

We fully support our fellow labor leaders on the MTA Board for calling out MTA Chairman and CEO Patrick Foye and Board Member Laryy Schwartz for thier total distortion of facts and disregard for the hard work and dedication of the labor work force that has over the past year turned around the steep decline in subway and bus preformance.  What is most shocking about this is that the presentation by the MTA Cheif Finanical Officer, Bob Foran contradicts what Messrs. Foye and Schwartz are claiming!

We would like to thank everyone who attended any one of these meetings.

Financial Disclosure Filing (JCOPE) for OA Line Supervisors

Mon, 05/22/2017 - 8:16am

*** UP DATE ***

Last week we received two (2) denial letters from JCOPE regarding our exemption filings for OA Line Supervisors and OA Revenue Supervisors.  If you haven't filed a financial disclosure statement for 2106 yet we urge you to do so as soon as possible.  We are reviewing the denials and have asked our lawyer to contract JCOPE for clarification and guidance on appealing their determination.   If you have any questions, call the Ethics Helpline at 888-827-5682 (888-U ASK MTA).

If you have received a letter from NEW YORK STATE JOINT COMMISSION ON PUBLIC ETHICS directing you to file a financial disclosure application, you should file an individual exemption application.  The Union has recently filed with the the NYS Joint Commission of Public Ethics a Union exemption application.  We recommend that you include the Union exemption application documents in your individual filing.  We are currently awaiting their response to our application and believe based on the job duties of these titles we should be exempt from filing.

You should send a copy of the application to:
