@JoeyBoots tweeted this photo of a sanitation worker clearing trees in the West Village.
New York City Sanitation Department Teamsters from Local 831 are working long hours today removing trees from roadways, breaking apart limbs and cleaning streets as Hurricane Sandy moves on.
The monster storm crippled the city, flooding the subways and the Wall Street District and downing power lines. Hundreds of thousands of people have no power. Some New York hospitals were evacuated, and Sandy killed at least 10 people.
We learn that Local 831 is on the job from Adam Rodriguez on Facebook. Paul Monico agrees: "New Yorks Strongest! We're on it! Local 831!!"
John Conrad doesn't expect recognition but doesn't care. His Facebook post: "831 for life! No headlines No medals No problem we love our city!"
