TWU Local 291

More than 100 transit workers (many African Americans) and our supporters came to Miami-Dade Commissioners' hearing on our contract - and the police SWAT team was called in! Why Mayor Gimenez?

Unions showed up in full force at our hearing: teachers, longshoremen, KSC firefighters, postal workers, professors, office workers, municipal employees and many others supporting transit workers! . We secured a retroactive 4% pay raise, no cuts to sick leave or vacation. Still negotiating for shop stewards and MAP program.
