There is no NYC without unions. A people united and organized cannot be defeated. Together, we're showing the world what solidarity means.

What are the NYC taxi and for-hire vehicle owners and drivers worried about right now? GAS PRICES. And the increase has just begun. Look for a gas surcharge on for-hire vehicle rides soon ... as one driver told me, between insurance and interest rates and everything else, to make a modest workable income now, "$80,000 is the new $50,000."

What a remarkable day for New York City! Our new @NYCMayor arrived at his inauguration event in a yellow taxi driven by NYTWA member and debt relief fighter @RichardChow929. Richard’s brother Kenny died by suicide because of devastating debt caused by the medallion crisis.

Update from City Hall: @NYCMayor Zohran Mamdani and his wife just arrived for his public inauguration in a yellow cab driven by a man who he went on a 15-day hunger strike with outside of City Hall in 2021 with @NYTWA and won $450 million in debt relief.

When ZM camped out with us for 45 days during our debt fight, Elle was the center of calm, the steady hand who led the coordination with skill, decisiveness, and always sense of community. Dean was crucial during our three-party negotiations (NYTWA, the city, private equity/Marblegate.) The city is going to be in skilled and caring hands. Working class fighters coming through!

Exactly 4 years + 1 day ago today, we ended our 15-day hunger strike when we won our fight for debt relief for yellow cab drivers. @ZohranKMamdani, the next mayor of New York City, camped outside City Hall with us for 45 days, and went on hunger strike for 15 of those days, to lift us out of poverty and debt. We know his agenda will lift all of NYC working class out of the dark and into the light. Congratulations to the next mayor of New York City on his historic victory!

"Without the night shift, there is no morning." Late Thursday night, I canvassed the taxi line at LaGuardia — and caught up with some old friends from @NYTWA.

Check out NYTWA's statement on the Traffic Mobility Review Board's terrible proposal for a $1.25 per trip congestion fee on taxi drivers in Manhattan's Central Business District. myemail.constantcontact.com/NYTWA-Statemen…

TMRB recommended $1.25 per taxi trip congestion fee is a RECKLESS proposal that will DEVASTATE an entire workforce. Cabbies already pay TWO taxes - on avge $15K/yr - to MTA, & trips are down 50% since COVID. Just awful. We will fight it with every means. nytimes.com/2023/11/29/nyr…
