A member of Local 1994 since he started work with Ride On as a bus operator in 1989, Nelvin became a shop steward after just a few short years and joined the Executive Board in 2006. He readily takes on the challenge to advocate for Local 1994 members whether it’s lobbying for legislation protecting working families, joining and helping to organize rallies and protests, or attending meetings of relevant community organizations. Nelvin is the union’s point person for the almost 1,000 transit professionals represented by Local 1994.
