Week In Review October 27th to November 3rd 2012

Week In Review October 27th to November 3rd 2012 Saturday October 27th was the MaBstoa Div1 Dinner Dance which turned out to be an elegant affair. Tracey Young and Reinaldo Rios were honored for their continued commitment to the members of their respected Depots, but the real honorees of the night were the men and women who retired and did their time paving the way for the rest of us. Richard Davis Manhattan Division Chair MC'd the event while the party goers had a nice time on the dance floor.  To all members who donated or participated in the dance, thanking you is an understatement! But thank you anyway. MaBstoa Div 1 Hurricane Sandy The events that have occurred crippled the tristate area to degrees normally unknown to New Yorkers. The Transit system throughout the region was crippled and flooded in many areas.  Richard Davis managed to handle problems as they occurred while maintaining safety. News was available as things started to unfold, so that their wasn't any confusion on what actions should be taken.  As much as the MTA takes us for granted, once again we have shown the powers that be why we are a very necessary workforce.  We are aware that there will be problems with pay and some discipline, and tend to deal with all on a case by case basis, even grieving where no resolution exists.   Consolidated Pick Resumes this Monday  November 5th 2012 Stay Tuned!
