Members of the Transportation Communications Union (TCU/IAM) recently joined other IAM Union members and elected officials from across the state at the New York State Council of Machinists (NYSCOM) annual meeting, held this year in Niagara Falls.
The meeting allowed TCU/IAM members to learn new strategies for advocating for the rights of working people in New York and New Jersey.
TCU/IAM has been a proud participant in the NYSCOM conference for more than 17 years, continuing its tradition of support and involvement. This year, TCU/IAM was well-represented by members from several key locals, including Long Island Rail Road Locals 90, 177, 1277,1444, BSC IT Local 982; and New Jersey Transit Local 626.
“I want to thank NYSCOM for all their hard work and dedication to New York,” said TCU/IAM National Vice President Nick Peluso. “The TCU/IAM has been coming to this great conference for over 17 years, and we continue to support and get the job done in New York. I want to thank the four LIRR locals — 90, 177, 1277, and 1444, BSC IT Local 982, and New Jersey Transit Local 626 for always attending and supporting this great conference.”
The event highlighted the strength and unity of the labor movement and reinforced the importance of continued collaboration across the region. TCU/IAM remains committed to attending NYSCOM to protect and advance workers’ rights throughout New York and New Jersey.
“This is the 129th conference of the New York State Council of Machinists, and I am proud to say that we had 74 delegates in attendance, along with an additional 30 to 35 guests,” said NYSCOM President Norm Shreve. “We were also pleased to have strong participation from several elected officials. We’ve gathered a lot of valuable information during this meeting, and our delegates will take it back to their locals to share with members who couldn’t attend.”
