Main Table Proposals

January 9, 2012

Forth proposal - Maybe, counter offer life insurance coverage to TWU Local 100 members of minimum of $10 million paid by NYCTA for any employee losing their life while on the job.

TWU Local 100 members who are in the military - their military days will rise from the current ‘22 paid military days/30 allowed counting weekends or 30 weekdays paid’. They will get ninety (90) paid military days not counting weekends. While on military if the day is RDO or holiday it will not be charged as a military day, and will pay the holiday. When ninety (90) days are used however still on military - raise the current paid 4 hours/day for a total length of military duty to six (6) hours/day for total length of military duty. 

Fifth proposal - Maybe, counter offer for vacation accruals should be based on the following formula:

Years of Service	Current	Proposed
0-1	1 day for each month	2 weeks
1-2	2 weeks	3 weeks
2-3	2 weeks	4 weeks
3-14	4 weeks	5 weeks
15+	5 weeks	6 weeks
20-25	21/2 days per month	3 days per month
25+	21/2 days per month	4 days per month

• Vacation  time will be earned if TWU Local 100 member is on a leave of absence, sick unpaid, suspended, AWOL or any unpaid absence.
• Vacation pay on holiday - pick or non pick holiday gets run pay not eight (8) hours. That vacation is also accruable and will be carried over to the following year.

Sixth proposal - Will look into it - counter offer benefits should not be cancelled or cut for an out of work employee for any reason including reclassification.

• Current members of TWU Local 100 and retirees and their family members will receive full health insurance coverage.
