MTA Approves Contract

The MTA board formally approved the new Local 100 contract. Board members voted on the package during the Executive Session of the Authority’s regularly scheduled monthly meeting at 2 Broadway. The next step is for the MTA and union to establish implementation dates for the wage-rate increases and some of the other improvements in the package. Local 100 will publicize those details once they become available. The contract requires the MTA provide members the $3,000 Essential Worker Bonus payment in September. Local 100 leadership is discussing with the MTA how members can take advantage of different pay-out options. You will have choices, including the ability to roll the bonus over into your MTA 401(k) account or 457 plan.

The votes are in!

Local 100 members ratified a new labor agreement with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority by a very wide vote margin: 68.75% in favor of the deal, and 31.25% opposed, the independent American Arbitration Association reported today.

Solid raises, $4,000 in Essential Worker bonus payments, expanded maternity and paternity leave, along with other new benefits and gains, are on the way. Importantly, Local 100 defeated MTA demands – including the demand that you pay more for your healthcare. Your health contributions will not go up. They will remain the same through the length of the 3-year contract.

Local 100 Wins Battle to Keep Elevator Operators in Washington Heights Stations

JULY 14 -- Not so fast!

A Manhattan judge today ordered the MTA to keep elevator operators in five deep-cavern subway stations in Washington Heights. Ruling in favor of a lawsuit motion filed by TWU Local 100, Justice Adam Silvera said the elevators must remain staffed at least until the merits and legality of the staffing cuts are argued and decided court. He scheduled a hearing for July 20.

The MTA planned to vacate the elevators on Sunday – a move Local 100 and elected officials say will make the stations less safe and impact the ability of disabled riders to use the system.

Local 100 Keeps the Spotlight on Assault Case

It’s time for Alexander Wright, a career menace to society, to face the music. That’s the public message Stations Vice President Robert Kelley delivered Thursday, July 13, 2023, outside the Bronx courthouse, where Wright appeared on charges of assaulting subway Cleaner Anthony Nelson.

Prosecutors on Thursday informed the judge on the case that doctors recently deemed Wright, who had been remanded to a mental hospital, mentally fit to proceed to trial. Wright’s defense attorney then successfully requested time to review the medical reports. The case was adjourned to July 27.
