A Transport Workers Union big has gotten the boot for trying to improperly punish an alleged philandering bus-driver rep, the TWU said. John Paul “JP” Patafio, TWU Local 100’s vice president for its Brooklyn bus division, inserted himself into theat a Queens depot by attempting to demote the rep, who was allegedly cheating on his bus-driver wife with another MTA bus driver at the same depot, the union’s disciplinary trial committee said.
Patafio did “not have the authority to remove an elected official from his position, absent written charges and a trial,” the panel said.Transport Workers Union Local 100 vice president John Paul Patafio seen in front of NY Presbyterian Methodist Hospital on June 7, 2022.Gary Archibald, Transport Workers Union vice chair at the Fresh Pond depot was accused by his wife, fellow bus driver Canesha Caton Mitchill, with having an affair with another bus operator named Leborah Welcome.Yet he demanded that the male bus-driver rep stop allegedly cheating on his wife with the other driver — and attempted to unilaterally suspend him from his union post for six months without filing formal disciplinary charges against him, the union said.

P. Patafio should be removed from office as Vice President. By majority decision the Trial Committee recommends that J.P. Patafio should be placed in bad standing for a period of three years,” he wrote.“They removed me as if I were the one caught cheating. They removed me and rewarded the cheater. It’s insane,” Patafio told The Post. The decision, expected to be upheld by union brass, bars him from running for union office for three years, he said.Video of Kilmar Abrego Garcia being detained by ICE goes viral — because of what he utters during arrest Southampton bans short-term rentals in move that officially cancels weekend trips to Hamptons: 'Out of luck'‘Caught Stealing’ NYC premiere red carpet: Zoe Kravitz, Austin Butler and moreVince McMahon throws himself lavish 80th birthday party alongside WWE greats despite ongoing sex scandalRing rage!
