Councilmembers Ydanis Rodriguez, Jumaane D. Williams Agains MTA plans to close subway booths

Local 100 President John Samuelsen and Council members Ydanis Rodriguez (Dem. Disrict 10 Washington Heighs) and Jumaane D. Williams (Dem. District 45 Brooklyn) teamed up at a City Hall press conference to urge a “huge public outcry” MTA against plans to close 89 more subway booths and fire an additional 220 Station Agents. See the following Videos.

Samuelsen “Jay Walder is putting transit riders directly in harms way” by removing the Station Agents from the system despite advice to the contrary from the U.S. House Homeland Security Committee and a variety of law enforcement agencies.
