Posted by andy on Wed Mar 1 10:40:23 2017, in response to Tuscarora Almanac for March 1, posted by IRTRedbirdR33 on Wed Mar 1 08:56:29 2017. Yes, it happened that date, which also saw an American Airlines jet crash after takeoff at JFK (then Idlewild or officially NY International Airport), and a ticker tape parade on Lower Broadway for John Glenn.Should note that the Transport Workers Union struck the FACO-Surface Transit companies because a new management had taken over two weeks before, and on March 1 laid off 29 light duty employees, in violation of the contract between the TWU and FACO. These men were veteran employees who had been drivers but due to accidents or injuries were kept on the payroll as watchmen, clerks, or street fare collectors. |
