Myran Pollack, the 60-year-old train conductor who was brutally stabbed by a passenger for asking him to leave the train, is currently recovering from critical injuries after a medically induced coma. This alarming event has shaken the transit community, bringing attention to the dangers transit workers face on the job.
In response to the attack on Pollack, the Transit Workers Union voiced their outrage, stating, 'enough is enough.' They are pushing for immediate changes to ensure the safety of workers across the transit system, highlighting the desperate need for enhanced protective measures.
Dozens of transit union members rallied this week outside MTA offices, demanding stronger safety protocols. They believe that without urgent and comprehensive actions implement to enhance worker safety, incidents like Pollack's stabbing will continue to occur and jeopardize the lives of those on the front lines.
The police's account of the incident reveals a troubling pattern of violence against transit workers, prompting both the union and law enforcement to call for a thorough investigation into safety issues within the transportation system.
