Outrageous Transit Settlement Ends New York Strike
The Transit Authority capitulated to demands seen as outrageous, agreeing to about 52 million dollars for two years. A Transit Union lawyer claimed the figure is 69.08 million, averaging 1,000 dollars per year for 3,400 workers. Mayor Lindsay doubts funding sources and notes possible fare hikes or subsidies. Union leader Quit derides the mayor, calling him a pipsqueak as inflation concerns loom and Johnson administration guidelines are invoked. The piece questions the political will to restrain wage demands beyond the strike period.
