YOU ARE DEAD WRONG ABOUT LOCA L 100.NYC TRANSIT WORKERS HAVE BALLS,BUT TOUSSAINT HAS LOST WHATEVER BACKBONE HE HAD WHEN IT COMES TO FIGHTING MANAGEMENT.TOUSSAINT HAS NOW AGREED TO APARTNERSHIP OF SORTS WITH THE NYC TRANSIT AUTHORITY.HE HAS COMPLETELY SOLD OUT.IT STARTED WHEN HE SOLD US OUT ON THE STRIKE TWO YEARS AGO.THE PICKET LINES WERE HOLDING UP PHENOMINALLY,BUT TOUSSAINT STILL CAVED IN AND AGREED TO THE MOST CONCESSION FILLED CONTRACT IN LOCAL 100 HISTORY.WE WENT ON STRIKE NOT PAYING A DIME FOR HEALTHCARE,AND 3 DAYS LATER WE WERE PAYING 1.5 % OF OUR OUR GROSS.WORSE YET,TOUSSAINT GAVE THESE BOSSES LANGUAGE WHICH ALLOWS THEM TO INCREASE THE 1.5 EVERY YEAR.IT HAS ALREADY GONE UP .IT IS ACTUALLY AN OUTRAGE.YEAH,TOUSSAINT HAS NO BALLS AT ALL.AND NOW HE IS LITTLES BEST FRIEND TOO.
local 100 is broken down into 14 divisions.these divisions elect committees that represent them against management.at local 100,the majority of these committees are very good,very strong.in the depots ,and on the shop floor,local 100 is real good ,real strong.there was always an extremely antagonistic relationship with management.now,toussaint has changed course.he has embraced a new style with management.there is no more fight left in him.it is all phony showmanship now.he folded the picket lines two years ago,when we were holding up strong.he signed a secret deal and agreed to first time ever medical premiums of 1.5 % on gross pay.for nothing.we got nothing for it.any gains which came from that contract were funded by the members either through this new 1.5 % or through traditional givebacks.anyone who thinks toussaint has stregnth in nyc should look at the last election numbers.as a two term incumbant president ,56% of the members voted against him.he only barely won relection,and that was because the opposition vote was diluted by multiple slates.now,Little comes to town and throws his support behind toussaint.Little completly misread the political situation here.he has attached himself to a loser,and a sellout.two dictators joined at the hip.
