An inconvenient and annoying Amalgamated Transit Union Local 308 Executive Board Member. Preacher of Revolutionary Unionism. Drug-tested. Feared. Uncompromising. Black Joe Hill.

He better not let us down
Nearly 70% of NYC voters — including majorities of Cuomo and Adams supporters — are in favor of Zohran's plan to freeze the rent for almost 1 million rent-stabilized apartments.

Gee, I wonder why workers are reaching their breaking point. 😐

NEVER feel bad for corporations. Never.

Pennie n Mark couldn’t throw me out of office with Section 22 charges or police, so she just bans me from representing members, bans me from her Executive Bored meetings. Basically , she has UNELECTED me

If this offends you, let her and the International President know!
This is growing more and more common. All this while politicians play games and the mismanagement writes up workers who get sick or hurt! This is unacceptable!
Here’s something you may not know exists at the CTA: Single, CTA workers that do 40+ hours a week, but depend on Medicaid and Food Stamps.

Join me and others at the NO LAYOFFS of Public Transit Workers! protest
Thank Heavens, no police were called in the crashing of this parade. I don't mean to be a pest, but my coworkers and I deserve to have #PaidSickLeave AND Short-Term Disability, just like the CTA president. We definitely don't deserve to be punished and fired when we get sick.
I am not going to be silent about what is going on at the CTA. My coworkers are suffering physical and mental harm on a daily basis. youtu.be/C5ELxJ9eejY

There is not a government of the people if the people are not taking control of the government.

Electing a boss still leaves you with a boss—a person who will fire you when you threaten their existence.
Hate me if you want, but Trxmp has nothing to do with our responsibility to take control over our communities, schools and workplaces.

Neither does any other elected dope in a suit.
After almost being jailed for defying a juvenile, dictator union president yesterday, this showed up on my phone…
Peppermint Pennie and Tobacco Man Warden at their Business Union Bullshxt Again: Kicked out by the Cops! 🤣 The CTA mismanagement is pleased with their Local 308 president!
I spend most of my waking hours with men and women who struggle for dignity in service to the people of Chicago. Despite our differences, we move this city. That's a family. Any manager who harms them, harms me. There is no exception.
