🚨 WE SHOWED UP & WE WILL KEEP SHOWING UP! 🚨 Today we stood in solidarity with our brother Myran Pollack — an MTA Train Operator stabbed more than 10 times while simply doing his job at Utica Ave. His attacker, Jonathan Davalos, is facing 15 years 5 years supervision, but tried to play the mental illness card to shave it down to 10. ⚖️ The judge wasn’t buying it. ⚖️ And neither are we. When you assault 1 transit worker, you assault ALL of us. We will be back in court August 25th to make sure justice is served and every year he deserves behind bars is delivered. ✊🏾 Mental illness is not a free pass to terrorize essential workers. Enough is enough. Transit workers WILL see justice! 📍Stay tuned. We’re not backing down. #TransitStrong #JusticeForMyran #UticaAve #MTAWorkers #WeShowUp #CourtSolidarity #NoFreePass #AssaultOnOneAssaultOnAll #BrooklynJustice #EssentialNotExpendable #UnionStrong #WorkersRights #TransitLivesMatter #MentalIllnessIsNotAnExcuse #mta #nyc

T/O Sheppard was spit on after a passenger assaulted a conductor with a scooter — and instead of protecting their own, the MTA is trying to fire him. Labor Relations made Sheppard prove he was a victim — so he went to the DA and got official paperwork. You’d think that would be enough… but nope. Now they “need time to review it.” NO pay. NO health insurance. NO workers comp. He couldn’t even afford to treat his daughter for her birthday. This is how the MTA treats the people who keep NYC moving. They don’t believe their own workers — even when a felony has been committed. This ain’t justice. This is abuse. We stand with Sheppard! #JusticeForSheppard #MTAExposed #TransitWorkersMatter #LaborRelationsIsCorrupt #FireTheRightPeople #ProtectTheWorkers #WeMoveNYC #TWULocal100 #BlueCollarLivesMatter #NoMoreAbuse #SheppardDeservesBetter #LaborRightsNow #EssentialNotExpendable #MTAinCrisis #nyc #mta #nyct

The MTA Wants This Train Operator Fired… For Defending Himself. A conductor was smashed in the head with a scooter. The assailant then spit on a train operator. The train operator restrained the attacker—and injured his hand in the process. He let the guy go. No excessive force. Just self-defense. Surveillance video? Blurry. Faces unrecognizable. No spit visible. So what did the MTA do? They charged the train operator with workplace violence. But here’s what their own rules say: “Force may be used when necessary to defend the employee or others.” So what’s really going on here? This isn’t safety. This isn’t policy. This is a witch hunt. #JusticeForTransitWorkers #ProtectTheOperator #MTACorruption #TransitTruth #NYCSubway #LaborRights #TWULocal100 #EssentialNotExpendable #StopTheWitchHunt #mta #nyc #nyct

The MTA KNEW... and DID NOTHING. Sammy Martinez, an MTA worker, tested positive for MRSA in April 2025 — a potentially deadly, contagious infection - and not a single manager contacted him. No questions. No contact tracing. No disinfecting the worksite. They put riders and workers at risk. This isn't negligence — this is criminal. If a worker gets MRSA, and the MTA ignores it... who's safe? Want to hear the full broadcast? Subscribe and watch here: The MTA Does Not Care About Worker Safety.

An MTA workers’ comp examiner was FIRED for accepting a free lunch from a bus dispatcher. Meanwhile, a manager committed over $100,000 in toll evasion… and still has a job. Let that sink in. Workers’ comp is already a nightmare — they don’t answer phones, ignore emails, and leave injured workers in limbo. So when one examiner actually does their job, someone says thank you with lunch… and they get TERMINATED? But if you’re in management, you can defraud the system and walk away clean. Fired for lunch. Protected for fraud. This is the MTA’s two-tier system. #MTACorruption #TwoTierSystem #LaborRights #TransitWorkers #EssentialNotExpendable #WorkplaceJustice #Whistleblower #UnionStrong #SystemRigged #BlueCollarTruth #HoldThemAccountable #WorkerPower #ProtectTheWorkers #ViralTruth #nyc #mta #nyct

There's something really broken when workers at high risk to be assaulted or killed on the job have to fight for leasing companies to provide cars with cameras have to defend why they shouldn't have to bear the cost of a toll from a passenger's trip. #EssentialNotExpendable
