John Samuelsen is the all time Champion of Double Standards and he is brazen about it. He gets away with it is only because the anti-labor media in NY loves him and various fake leftists cover for him.
But, fair is fair, and John is not by any stretch of the imagination.
A few examples are:
1) When he was running for office, John Samuelsen railed against Executive board members being allowed on staff.
He has placed more Executive Board members (5 or 6) on his staff than the previous administration.
2) He constantly attacked the prior administration for hiring individuals who lost their elections.
He has hired more “losers” than ever, including two and three time losers as his “Special assistant” and Director of Grievance and Discipline.
3) Samuelsen always claimed that firings were politically motivated in retaliation for people’s opinions or association
Then in less than a month after the election he has fired people for exactly that.
4) ) Samuelsen always suggested that the prior administration built a regime of paranoia and spied on Staff.
He not only monitors emails he has special “security” monitoring and following elected officers around.
The fact is Samuelsen has placed on staff individuals who couldn’t run in the elections because they were not in continuous good standing as required.
Samuelsen always suggested that votes and elections were being manipulated by the prior administration.
As soon as he took over, he began to make demands on the elections committee to favor his supporters, and, in Stations department came up with a scheme to get around Section elections and have his candidate coroneted as Section Chair.
John Samuelsen should not be allowed to get away with such glaring trickery of Transit workers. The media has exempted him from the non stop criticism and attacks it reserved for Local 100 because they recognize John Samuelsen as Their Man.
