Posted by Gold_12TH on Wed Jan 25 11:38:06 2012 The head of the MTA’s largest union — currently locked in bitter contract negotiations with the transit agency — refused yesterday to rule out the possibility of a crippling subway strike.John Samuelsen, the head of Transport Workers Union Local 100, said he wasn’t planning for his 34,000 members to walk off the job as they did in 2005 — at least not yet. “We would never take a strike off the table, never,” said Samuelsen after an Albany press conference that demanding the MTA provide a “fair” contract to workers. “We don’t want a strike . . . but philosophically, we believe we have the right to strike.” --- http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/subway_union_strike_threat_Vox9G2UVyJCj7WhXO1TujN#ixzz1kUMXUAFj |
