This past Wednesday one of our union sisters was sexually assaulted by a Medford man, Michael Hutt, as she tried to help him with his Charlie Card.

Thankfully, Hutt was arrested and charged with indecent assault and battery and assault and battery on a public employee.

However, the incident speaks to the difficult job that our union brothers and sisters face each and every day.
