Contract Re-Opener & 7 1/2 Retirement Pick-up
The City and MTA initiated a contract re-opener to extend the 7 1/2
per cent retirement beyond June 30, 2004. Local 200 entered into
arbitration on the 7 1/2 per cent retirement pick up on Wednesday May
12, 2004. Both Local 200 and representatives of the City presented
their final arguments to the arbitrator on Friday, May 21, 2004.
On June 2, 2004, the arbitrator ruled in favor of Local 200 MTA
employees; however, the arbitrator ruled against Local 200 City
(non-MTA) employees.
Effective July 1, 2004, for MTA employees, MTA will pay the 7.5%
employee retirement contribution. The additional five floating holidays
(4 + Birthday) are no longer in effect.
City (non-MTA) employees will continue to pay the 7.5% employee
retirement contribution. They also continue to receive the five
additional floating holidays. The City will make an additional payment
to employees after June 30, 2005 that reflects 2% of qualifying
premiums and overtime earned in FY04-05.
For both groups, the contract expires on June 30, 2005.

Layoffs & Service Cuts.
On Tuesday, June 15, 2004 the MTA Board of Directors voted to give the Executive Director Michael Burns the authority to make
