Transit workers who labored at Ground Zero say they were erased from the history of the valiant rescue and recovery effort by the National September 11th Memorial and Museum.
This week, they created a petition asking for “a prominent exhibit” there to showcase the 3,000 crane operators, dump truck drivers, earth movers and steel workers of Transit Workers Union Local 100 who helped in the effort.
“We basically wound up on the editing room floor,” electronic equipment maintainer Mario Galvet told The Post. “In those first 48 hours, we were the biggest presence there. We had the firm belief that there were people to rescue. Our guys were there frantically trying to clear the debris for all the emergency vehicles that were trying to get in.

They should only honor the brave politicians who took credit for everything.
Joe was there digging in the burning rubble ...
I agree with them and they are not asking for anything but recognition.
Seems like these guys have a valid complaint. If they were there within 24 hours they put themselves at a lot of risk, they should be honored.
Everybody in New York is angry.
I hope they have a section dedicated to liberals who said the George W Bush BLEW UP the twin towers and that it wasn’t the peace-loving Muslims!
Yes, and at the same time George Bush was stupid, but pulled off the biggest ambush ever within 8 mos of being bass.
Yes, everyone who went in and helped should get some recognition.
Heck, even the search&rescue people with dogs were honored with the artist DOGNY project.
So it goes when Democrats are in power. Even when it’s due to the working men and women, it will be witheld if the Left can’t profit from it. Even something as simple as a little bit of recognition for their display of honor and patriotism goes unheeded.
I hope they succeed in having their hard work acknowledged by the museum. This is appalling.
Apologies. I’m rather mouthy today.
Everyone who worked there should be honored and appreciated. It was hard grueling work and the emotional toll made the work harder and more desperate. There were lots of men working and although we don’t know their names we prayed for them every day.
