Guest guest Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 The 1980 Transit Strike Negotiations failed to come up with an agreement, and The Strike was called. 34,000 members of Transport Workers Union Local 100 walked off their jobs during the early morning hours of April 1st, 1980. It was no April Fool's Joke. For every day of the strike, the Taylor Law would collect two days pay from each striking worker, and severe fines and penalties could still be levied. … The strike was finally settled on April 11th. The TWU won a contract calling for a 9% raise in the first year and 8% in the second year along with a cost of living adjustment (expected to be at about 20%). The TA obtained some minor givebacks. The City was not pleased with the settlement, calling it too expensive. http://www.nycsubway.org/articles/history-nycta1980s.html Dear List Members, Dasha was: Me/Ju/Sa/Mo/Me.
