Don’t blame us

During the Transit Committee meetings yesterday, board members learned that the subway system is “completely reliant on Con Ed. Fifty years ago, the subway system produced its own electricity but later turned over its generators to Consolidated Edison. “For the record, in 1958 TWU opposed the sale of the power plants to Con Ed,” said Transport Workers Union Local 100 representative to the board Ed Watt.

TWU opposed the sale because it meant the union lost 1,500 members.
