By our reckoning there are thirty four thousand families, they are asking the MTA why come with such ridiculous demands that does not strike anyone as being fair. What we believe is fair that TWU Local 100 members are entitled to a wage raise. TWU Local 100 members are hard working, exemplary employees who work irregular hours. Is that really fair that TWU Local 100 should not earn a wage raise?
Do not expect a straight answer - it is true that we should change the tone of exchanges of the contract negotiations especially when the families are asking straight questions that deserve straight answers.
The MTA hazy view that was reflected in their proposals of the 2012 contract all reveal mismanagement - it is obvious that mismanagement was not caused by TWU Local 100 members. However forcing TWU Local 100 to bear the brunt of it, the scale of the changes is not fair or reasonable.
MTA has got to admit that it got it wrong, and that they have made the wrong decisions. Maybe they should rethink things since the contract proposal will make TWU Local 100 members worse off - this is one occasion to pause, listen and reflect.
