Set by Elk Dear Bob Crow, The members, staff and officers of Transport Workers Union Local 100 of New York deeply appreciate your support during our recent contract fight and strike. It seemed that our contract fight was conducted under the bright lights of the mass media. However, there were very important things happening outside of camera range, including the solidarity you displayed. If the media ignored it, transport workers did not. Our 35,000 members were strengthened by the knowledge that they were not alone. I would have liked to have written sooner, noting how your efforts helped produce a successful resolution to our battle. While that has not yet occurred, expressing our appreciation can’t wait. Our picket signs said “it’s all about respect”. Please let your members, staff and officers know that you have the respect and heartfelt thanks of the entire TWU Local 100 family. Sincerely Roger Toussaint TWU Local 100 president LETTERS
