Upon hearing the news of his death, International President Warren S. George stated, “Oliver Green was truly one of the great ATU international officers of the twentieth century. His devotion to the causes of the transit worker and Labor was unparalleled, and the kindness and compassion he showed in his service was appreciated by everyone he worked with, particularly at International Headquarters. He was a trailblazer who fought for the rights of minorities in the labor movement.

“Oliver and I served together on the road as International Vice Presidents and, later, at International Headquarters when he was IST. He was more than a co-worker, he was my friend. I know I speak for everyone when I say that we will miss him greatly.”
