After their outstanding victory to win for wage parity and safer buses earlier this year, DC Circulator workers are under attack from a vengeful First Transit. They fired Flynn “Tiny” Burke – a shop steward and the face of the Circulator campaign – late last week.
Today, the general manager said, “I will use every dime this company has to make sure Tiny doesn’t get his job back.” A reminder: the money First Transit has at the Circulator is DC taxpayer money.
We are demanding that Circulator end its crackdowns in the garage and put Tiny back to work immediately. Please sign the petition, which gives more background here, and spread the word: https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/first-transit-reinstate-flynn-tiny-burke-who-was-unjustly-terminated
