NEW YORK (CNN) - If New York City bus and subway workers strike when their

contract expires at 12:01 a.m. ET Friday, there will be " no winners, " Mayor Michael

Bloomberg said as he described the contingency plan to deal with a possible

mass transit shutdown.

" Let

me be clear about the impact of the strike, it would do far worse than

inconvenience the 8.1 million city residents and nearly one million suburban

commuters. Emergency vehicles may get stuck in traffic, and people will have

difficulty getting to hospitals, " Bloomberg said Wednesday.

Negotiators

for the Metropolitan Transit Authority and the Transport Workers Union Local

100 had yet to begin contract talks Thursday morning, as officials from both

sides began the day by discussing what MTA spokesman Tom Kelly called

" departmental issues. "

Members

of the union and the MTA have been deadlocked in negotiations for several days.

The TWU has threatened to strike when their contract expires at midnight Thursday if their

demands are not met.
