John Chiarello — the new president of Transport Workers Union (TWU) Local 100, which represents over 40,000 transit workers in NYC — bluntly warned the MTA that he wouldn’t be pushed around in fighting for his workers’ best interests.
Chiarello, a 20-year member of Local 100, has been the acting local president since Richard Davis resigned from the role on Jan. 21 amid multiple sexual misconduct allegations.
