Transit pay hike battle tests New York unity
The AFL CIO state workers union vows to honor a three year pay slowdown for New York transit workers despite a court ruling that the wage increases won in the January strike violate the Condon Wadlin law. Judge Saypol criticized the Transit Authority and mayor Lindsay for the deal and warned of possible relief but withheld final action pending agency replies. The agreement calls for 4 percent raises this year, next year, and 7 percent on July 1, with no payments yet made as contracts await ratification.
