Statement from Transport Workers Union Local 100 President Tony Utano on the tentative contract reached with the MTA.

“We had a real fight on our hands but transit workers stood together and we were able to secure a fair contract. Our Executive Board overwhelmingly approved the tentative agreement this morning. The American Arbitration Association will now conduct a ratification vote with members receiving ballots in the mail.”
 
The TWU Local 100 Executive Board, comprised of elected union officers from all divisions, voted 42-4 in favor of the agreement. Three board members abstained.
