Rockefeller Signs Bill To Avert NYC Transit Strike
Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller quickly signed a bill he sponsored to prevent another subway and bus strike in New York City. The law grants 34,600 AFL-CIO Transport Workers Union and Amalgamated Transit Union members the wage increases from the earlier settlement and exempts them from penalties under the Condon-Wadlin Act. It follows a state supreme court ruling that barred the city Transit Authority from paying the 15 percent two-year increase, sparking wildcat strike threats. The welfare workers, about 6,000, may strike under penalties still in court.
