Nation’s First Bikeshare Local Elects Executive Board
Transport Workers Union Local 320 – the nation’s first organized bikeshare work group – has elected an executive board. The results are:
- Patrice Delva – President
- Sheldon Hall – Executive Vice President
- Stan Jones – Secretary-Treasurer
- Kimberly Griffin – Eastern Regional Representative
- Justin Grembowski – Central Regional Representative
- Malcolm Thomas – Western Regional Representative
“We are proud to charter our newest local union, TWU Local 320, and we welcome their newly elected local leadership. Our bikeshare workers are an integral element of 21st century, multimodal transportation networks,” said TWU International President John Samuelsen. “The TWU is excited to represent bikeshare workers from coast to coast. From bikes to buses, trains to planes, to utilities and university workers, we are America’s fighting democratic trade union.”
“Extending warm congratulations to some of the newest members of our TWU family. We look forward to working with this dynamic group and making TWU Local 320 a thriving success,” said Transit, Universities, Utilities and Services Division Director Curtis Tate.
“Having my coworkers put their faith in me to handle such a big responsibility is awesome and also something I take very seriously,” said Local 320 President Patrice Delva. “I’ve never done anything like this before, but I am up to the challenge. It’s also meaningful that I was elected as president of the very first bikeshare local during Black History Month. It’s kind of nice to be a small part of history.”
