Union politics just got personal in Brooklyn’s bus division. John Paul “JP” Patafio, a top union official, was kicked out after trying to punish a bus driver rep caught in a workplace affair—without following proper procedures. The twist? Patafio didn’t have the authority to demote the rep, and his move backfired, leading to his own removal and a three-year ban from union office. This shakeup is raising eyebrows among MTA workers: Should union leaders get involved in personal matters, or stick strictly to union rules? #Transportation #Brooklyn #UnionDrama
