"Chiarello stated, 'I'm pissed off, I think this is a slap in the face to our membership,' referring to the MTA's demands for increased health insurance costs and reduced overtime."
"The MTA is proposing that workers pay more for health insurance and emergency room visits, while also wanting to change overtime eligibility from three days to four."
"Ellen Moynihan remarked, 'Many people are not even awake four hours before they go to work,' criticizing the MTA's new sick leave notification requirement."
"Chiarello condemned the MTA's plan to reduce workers' flexibility in choosing their routes and schedules, calling it a move towards 'pre-packaged picks.'"
John Chiarello, president of TWU Local 100, criticized the MTA's contract demands as disrespectful to union members. The MTA proposes increased health insurance contributions, higher emergency room co-payments, and changes to overtime eligibility and sick leave notification. Chiarello expressed anger over these proposals, stating they undermine workers' rights and flexibility. The current contract expires on May 16, and the union plans to rally to assert their position. The MTA's offer includes 2% raises over three years, but the proposed changes are seen as detrimental to workers.
