Work Location: FSP Future Stewart Partners   Date: 11/22/21 Employee: Flinora Wilson Airport: Newark Liberty International Airport Experience: Like many others, the long time to get through TSA checkpoints have been annoying to me. However, my experience today at Newark Liberty International Airport was very pleasant. Through my own error, I had to go thru two different checkpoints. The first took about 2030 minutes perhaps and didn't bother me. The four individuals I had contact with in that process were uniformly pleasant. After I got to the gates associated with that checkpoint, I realized that my airline was not there and found out I had to go to another location and pass thru security again. I got rather anxious because I thought I would miss my flight, as I cannot run. When I walked as rapidly as I could to the correct checkpoint, I was breathing so heavily that one of the staff Flo approached me and helped me get into line bypassing the lanes that were set up. Although this line was shorter, I thought I had only twenty minutes before my gate would close and when I finally got on the other side of the screening machine, Work Location: TSA   Date: 11/22/21 Employee: Nicola Martin Airport: Newark Liberty International Airport Experience: Comment Card received from a passenger: Marco M and his Supervisor (Nicola Martin) were not only kind, but thorough, respectfully and overall so pleasant.

Work Location: ABM Bussing   Date: 7/8/21 Employee: Rosario Juncal Paredes Airport: LaGuardia Airport Experience: I was at Terminal C inspecting the women's restrooms when I noticed Rosario multitasking, cleaning and disinfecting the bathroom. She was emptying out the trash bins, wiping down the sinks, filling up the soap dispensers, mopping the floors and handling tons of trash bags on her own. Even a passenger came up to Rosario and said "thank you for keeping the restroom clean". I immediately went up to Rosario and asked her if it was ok to nominate her. She was a bit surprised but grateful. At that time, Rosario shared what a hard worker she is and dedicated to her responsibilities. Her duty is to make sure her Supervisor, Manager and employer are satisfied with her work performance and it brings her joy the areas are in their best conditions. You can see how dedicated, consistent and proud Rosario is in her role. It was my pleasure to nominate Rosario and to take time to make sure Rosario is rewarded and recognized for owning it. Work Location: ISS Facility   Date: 7/8/21 Employee: Ramon Gerraro Airport: LaGuardia Airport Experience: Ramon is a wheelchair operator I witnessed working in full force. It was an elderly couple who deplaned and Ramon was present ready to accommodate them. This is where I saw the dedication Ramon gave to make sure the couple was comfortable in their wheelchair, he asked if they needed the restrooms, to pickup luggage and also, the couple was with their granddaughter who he made sure wouldn't get lost. After he safely took the couple and their granddaughter to the baggage claim area, where their family member awaited, he ran to his next passenger wheelchair assistance. He reminded me of Superman and needed to nominate him. What great service he provided along with proactivity, concern and alertness. Good job Ramon!
