TWU Local 248 Family & Union Solidarity Day

The officers of TWU Local 248 are pleased to announce our first Family & Union Solidarity Day, which will be held June 29 at Watertown Community Park.

We want everyone to come out, relax, and have some fun with your union brothers and sisters. It’s also an opportunity to interact not only with your Local 248 leadership but also top officers and staff from the International Transport Workers Union, including Administrative Vice President Curtis Tate and Transit, Universities, Utilities & and Services Division Chair Willie Brown.

Tate has a long and active history with the TWU. He began his career as a Car Cleaner with the New York City Transit Authority in 1986 and was later promoted to Train Operator. He rose through the union ranks from Shop Steward to Acting Local 100 President to his current elected post as an International Administrative VP.

Brown started working for the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority as a Trolley Operator in 1987. After holding various positions with Local 208, Brown was first elected Local President in 2008. He stepped down in 2001 to head TUUS.

The division encompasses more than three dozen TWU Locals in cities across the country,  including NYC, Philadelphia, Miami, Chicago, Houston, San Francisco, El Paso, Omaha, and Winston-Salem.
