Peter Donohue, a former transportation reporter for the New York Daily News, is joining the subway workers union he previously covered before leaving the paper last month.
Dana Rubinstein of Capital New York writes, “‘He always gave the workers a fair shake, and never failed to reach out to the union to allow our voice to be heard,’ Transport Workers Union president John Samuelsen said in a statement. ‘Pete had other opportunities available to him, but he chose us, and we’re happy to have him aboard.’
“In February, Daily News owner Mort Zuckerman informed staff that he was considering selling the paper.
“In April, Capital reported that both Donohue and his colleague, Oren Yaniv, were leaving.
“T.W.U. Local 100 has roughly 40,000 members at the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, Citi Bike and elsewhere.”
