Samuelsen has sunk even lower by pretending to be in the forefront of the Haiti relief effort.
The Local100 website reads as if the union helped organize this march across the Brooklyn Bridge on Friday, when the bottom line really is that we should all come out and support our Haitian brothers and sisters remembering we are there for support and not for a cheap photo op.
I am proud to be part of a union where the members are not only first responders on buses and in the subways but also when there is a tragedy in other countries such as Haiti.
So let’s come on out and do our part but leave the politics at home.

Samuelsen...is he for real or a fake??
John Samuelsen spent the last four(4)years bashing Toussaint's administration.Although I do not agree with everything Toussaint and company did;its time for Samuelsen to move on,he was elected to lead TWU Local 100 .In these troubling times we(the members)need him to addresses the bread and butter issues facing not only transit workers,but the entire working class of America.But apparently Samuelsen is most comfortable mud slinging than dealing with the issues he was elected to solve.
Lets reflect on the man elected to lead TWU Local 100 thirty five thousand(35000)membership:
Prior to the elections of 2000,Samuelsen was the Darling of Toussaint.Toussaint pulled him up by his boot straps,taught him all he knows.Toussaint went as far as making Samuelsen the Acting VP of MoW;he acted as VP for the better part of four(4)years .How did Samuelsen repaid Toussaint... by stabbing him in the back. Is Samuelsen for real or fake??
After the strike of 2005,Samuelsen submitted his time sheet to be paid for the time the rest of us was on strike.When caught,instead of standing up and accept responsibility he blamed one of the Secretaries in the General Office for submitting a time sheet signed by Samuelsen..Is Samuelsen for real or a fake??
After being in the E.Board meetings(meetings are held once per month)for four years,and participated in all the discussions and plans and agreed to the selling of the building(80 W/End)Samuelsen is posturing as though he's clean.The fact is,he's part of the team that agreed to the building sale...Is Samuelsen for real or a fake??
In the Track Division meeting,12/24/09,Samuelsen told track workers that his priorities are (a)to stop mid-week RDO's in the track division,and(b)stop the four(4) day work week pilot program. As of yesterday he is claiming that Toussaint's administration on,12/28/09,submitted to theTA a request to stop the program..Lies...Is Samuelsen for real or a fake??
At the E.Board meeting on,1/25/10,Samuelsen reported that monies from the building sale were used to offset some of the Union's expenses.In yesterday's Track Division meeting,Samuelsen reported that $14 million is unaccounted for.Lets not forget this is the same Samuelsen who for the past three years accused Toussaint of skimming off $17 million to build a house in Trinidad.Samuelsen make up your mind and tell us how much money is missing.Is Samuelsen for real or a fake??
Samuelsen is the guy when he was on the outside decried The Track Safety Task Force but was reported as saying,"I'm going to leave it alone"..Is Samuelsen for real or a fake??
I started by saying that its time Samuelsen addresses our bread and butter issues.Toussaint left us with a three year contract that we won in the courts.From recent reports,it seems as though the TA is going to honor two years and the third is up in the air.Samuelsen boasted that he met with Walder-MTA Chief-but is mum on the third year of our contract.Samuelsen,come clean-Transit Workers will like to know what's up with the third year.Toussaint left a three year contract,the least you can do is secure the third year,hope you didn't give it back to Walder.
