In today’s @NYDailyNews:

New York @GovKathyHochul’s anti-union streak continues.

Hochul claims she “grew up in a union family” yet she keeps failing union families across the state.

Democrats are supposed to support workers— not repress them.

TWU Local 100 scored a win this week with Tier 6—the cap on OT counted toward our pensions jumped from $21,589 to $30,000, with an additional 3% to be added each year after.

This is just the latest positive change in the years we have fought for improvements to Tier 6.

In 2012, we were able to retain 25/55 retirement. In 2022, the vesting period was slashed in half from 10 years to 5, and OT
exempted from bumping members into a higher contribution band. In 2024 the Final Average Salary calculation was switched from being based on the highest 5 years of a member’s earnings to the highest 3 years.

All of these changes were results of the commitment and participation of members in rallies, our yearly Lobby Day trips and constant advocacy campaigns.

There are still improvements to be made, including lowering the contribution rate for all workers, further reducing or eliminating the OT cap and fixing the early retirement penalties.

Let’s keep fighting the good fight.

📣 Tier 6 Victory in State Budget

After weeks of deliberations, a deal for the New York State budget was announced today that included a big win for Tier 6 transit workers.

The budget will enact a significant boost to the “overtime cap”, which is the statutory ceiling on pensionable earnings for members hired April 1st, 2012 and after.

Currently set at $21,589, the cap will jump to $30,000 by next year— the biggest single increase so far. What that means for you is more overtime will count towards your pension, improving your retirement benefit.

The cap, which was originally $15,000 in 2012, will also increase each year by 3%.

President John V. Chiarello praised the reform, and credited the membership for being involved in the fight.

“This victory is the result of diligent lobbying efforts and member support” said Chiarello. “These changes do not happen overnight, but together we will keep fighting for the equity we deserve.”

In addition to the cap increase, the practice of excluding overtime earnings in determining a members’ pension contribution rate will be extended through January 1, 2029. This keeps members who earn overtime from being assessed a higher contribution percentage.

🚨 LMFAO!! You can't make this up: Two brown men walked out of ICE Newark and the left IMMEDIATELY assumed they were illegal alien ICE detainees...

...only to find out: "They WORK HERE, dumb*sses!"

*Door opens*
Brown men walk out
*Crowd cheers*

"That's racist!"

The staff are cracking up 🤣

Democrats think all brown people are illegals!

@MTANewsroom @MTA You guys do not care about the commuters at all so cut it out. You guys are charging congestion pricing, you’ve raised the fares and you guys already have plans to raise both every single year dramatically. Many of your employees don’t even live in the city anymore…

[Daniel @DeservingDanny]

@GovKathyHochul @MTA @LIRR Smh just pay them the wage they deserve. The MTA makes way too much money. Pay your workers what they deserve!

All these presidents making deals with China and never visited??? Lmao we’ve been letting this happen smh

[TWU Local 100 @TWULocal100]

Today’s Daily News has a message especially for MTA Chairman and CEO Janno Lieber: this isn’t a game.

As TWU Local 100 members, we take our jobs seriously. We are just as serious about negotiating the fair contract we deserve.

Stop playing around, and let’s get this done.

The MTA already has dozens of in-house attorneys making six figures…

…so why are taxpayers STILL paying for 80+ outside law firms too?

According to the New York Post, the MTA secretly spent OVER $10 MILLION on outside legal fees — and they admitted that may only be the “tip of the iceberg.”

Meanwhile:🚉 Delays everywhere🚉 Stations falling apart🚉 Workers overworked🚉 Riders frustrated

…but somehow there’s ALWAYS unlimited money for consultants, contractors, and lawyers.

And let’s stop pretending this is normal.

Outside firms make money off BILLABLE HOURS.The longer cases drag out…the more THEY get paid.

The MTA has become a bottomless pit where everybody eats except the taxpayers funding it.

At some point New Yorkers gotta ask:Who’s really benefiting from this system?

NYC is in big trouble. New Yorkers are going suffer without proper leadership. Companies are going to keep everyone in a place where they have control.

@TWULocal100 why don’t employees have unlimited access through the turnstiles with the Omnipass??? Stations is making it difficult for employees and contractors to come in and out with materials… how does work get done with urgency when the employees need to wait 15mins to swipe

The @DeptofWar is in lockstep with President Trump to bring unprecedented transparency regarding our government’s understanding of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena.

These files, hidden behind classifications, have long fueled justified speculation — and it’s time the American people see it for themselves.

This release of declassified documents demonstrates the Trump Administration’s earnest commitment to unprecedented transparency.

[TWU Local 100 @TWULocal100]

It’s a full house today with Maintenance of Way (MOW) at the table for departmental negotiations at MTA headquarters.

Led by Vice President Richard Rocco, along with the Division committees, MOW covers more than 8,000 members in the Line Equipment-Signals, Track, Structure, and Power Divisions.

Among the departmental proposals being considered are measures to boost recruitment & retention, increase task differential payments, improve pick language, and more. (A link to the full list of contract demands is in the comments.)

Our current agreement with the MTA expires on May 16th.
