The Transport Workers Union Local 100, which represents thousands of NYC Transit workers who keep the city's subways and buses running, announced legislation that would make it legal for them to strike in pursuit of a new contract with the MTA.
But the Taylor Law, according to Ramos, weakens the TWU Local 100’s ability to negotiate a fair contract with the MTA due to the threat of arrest and/or severe economic penalties for potentially striking.
According to the legislation, based on the federal Railway Labor Act, unionized bus and subway workers throughout New York state would be permitted to engage in a strike should negotiations and mediation fail to result in a fair contract. It would remove the various economic penalties that the unions would otherwise incur for such a labor action.
“The right to strike for NYC Transit workers is a matter of equity,” TWU International President John Samuelsen said. “Prohibition against striking for inner city transit workers, while our suburban counterparts can legally withhold work, is grossly unfair, grossly inequitable.” But that agreement was signed, sealed and delivered two months before the COVID-19 pandemic hit New York City — spurring mass public closures and a catastrophic decline in daily MTA subway ridership, which fell from rOverall transit ridership has rebounded significantly since the dark days of that pandemic spring; on Dec. 8, 2022, more than 3.9 million trips were recorded, a pandemic record.
