The high conflict employer?


Is MTA a high conflict employer? Does the MTA run its business in a way that breeds conflict as well as an adversarial relationship between management and labor by attempting to obtain every concession at the expense of labor. 

MTA behaves and views labor as a commodity that should be purchased as cheaply as possible and used only as long as the management deems it valuable. Thus this type of employer tries to keep labor cost down by paying wages and benefits as low as the market will allow.
