As transit workers, we spend our work days taking over 8.5 million people where they want to go. I m proud to be able to tell you about a Union program that can help take you where you want to go. In 2002, our Union negotiated for a Training & Upgrading Fund. Since then, over 15,000 TWU Local 100 Brothers and Sister have taken advantage of this great opportunity to work towards providing a brighter future for themselves. TUF offers many different classes. We have technical computer classes such as Networking + that will assist you in keeping up with the high-tech environment of transit and allow you to receive a certification that is nationally recognized. We also offer Civil Service Test Prep classes that assist you in preparing for promotional exams. These are just a few of the classes that are offered on a constant basis. The best part is that most of the classes that are listed in this course catalog are offered for little to no out of pocket cost for TWU Local 100-NYCT/Mabstoa members. Words From The Director I know that it is not easy to work a full time job, fulfill personal/ family obligations, and go to school all at the same time. We know that it isn t an easy road, but we are here to make the transition as smooth as possible. Let TUF help. We offer a variety of class options, on different days and times in different locations. If you do not see what you need, please call your Fund at 718-780-8700. We are always looking to set up new classes that will help TWU Local 100-NYCT/Mabstoa members stay ahead of the curve and remain a viable asset in the Transportation Industry. I look forward to seeing you in class. Hector A. Ramirez Director 2
