Posted by seabeachexpress on Thu Apr 17 15:40:02 2014 NEW YORK (WABC) -- The MTA and transit workers union are expected to announce a new contract that gives subway and bus workers raises after five years and lays the groundwork for a similar deal for LIRR workers.The tentative agreement will be announced by Gov. Cuomo at his East Side office. TWU Local 100 President John Samuelsen wrote Cuomo Tuesday night, asking him to intervene in the negotiations and effectively close the deal. The package on the table would require new hires to work for five years before reaching the top raise of 8%, a provision that would help save the MTA money. Contributions to health care costs would rise to 2% of base pay, from 1.5%. The TWU reached the apparent deal more than two years after its contract expired. The agreement, if approved by the rank and file, would set a path towards settling a lengthy labor dispute involving LIRR unions, who appear on track to strike in July. |
