The Transit Workers Union (TWU) is calling for safety reforms after another violent attack on a Subway Worker.  TWU Local 100 has filed a formal grievance against the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), saying they fail to protect Train Operators and Conductors from violent assaults by passengers.  "We are not here to be targeted," Local 100 President Richard Davis said. "We have to be protected.  They need to take the people out the subway and put them where they belong, get them help!"  Just recently, an MTA Security Guard was punched in the face at the 137th St-City College Station just after 4 a.m.  "Enough is enough," added Local 100 Vice President Canella Gomez. "We need major policy changes to keep us safe-us transit Workers-safe. We need to be protected and respected."  Local 100 is demanding Transit Workers no longer walk trains alone when taking them out of service, that MTA Police be at all points where trains are evacuated and available to help if passengers become a threat, and continuous meetings between top MTA Officials and Local 100 to review and implement enhanced safety protocols.
