TWU Local 100, MTA agree on tentative deal

Stephon Johnson

A two-year contract dispute between TWU Local 100 and the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) has ended, thanks to Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

The union, which represents transit workers, and the MTA tentatively agreed to a new five-year deal that puts at least one local union under contract. Under the agreement’s terms, TWU workers would receive increases within the 2 percent cap that Cuomo achieved with state labor contracts (1 percent increase in each of the first two years, beginning with 2012, and 2 percent increases in the last three years).
