The MTA has reached a tentative contract agreement with Transport Workers Union Local 100, the largest union representing its employees, that would raise workers’ wages by just under 10% over three years.
The deal, which still has to be ratified by the 40,000 members of the union representing subway and bus employees, provides for compounded wage increases of 9.8%, with a 3% bump this year and next and a 3.5% raise in 2025. Members will also get a $4,000 “essential worker cash bonus” in recognition of their work keeping New York moving during the pandemic.
