Roger Toussaint Workers Quotations

My message is let transit workers decide and determine their own fate. Don't get involved in the business and affairs of our union. If you make a deal, stick to it.

I will do 30 years before transit workers surrender. Working people have tried to obey the law, and we have gotten nothing but insults for it.

The contract they offered would leave the next generation of transit workers behind, and we will not accept that. We have voted to begin a series of strikes that will start with private bus lines and then spread to MTA properties.

Transit workers are tired of being underappreciated and disrespected.

This contract between the MTA and the Transport Workers Union should have been a no-brainer. Sadly that has not been the case.

This is a fight over dignity and respect on the job, a concept that is very alien to the MTA. Transit workers are tired of being underappreciated and disrespected.

I'm pleased to announce that the local 100 executive board just voted overwhelmingly to direct transit workers to return to work immediately and to resume bus and subway service throughout the five boroughs in New York City.

The hearts and minds of New York's transit workers are with Matthew and the entire Long family; we are praying for his recovery.

That is an insult to transit workers and an insult to every person in this city who depends on our bus and subway system.
