The NYC Transit Authority’s says Supervisors are #1!

The MTA/NYC Transit Authority has made one thing very clear through its actions — supervisors are important. In fact, according to them, you are #1.

The problem is their definition of being #1 is very different from what you would expect.

When an employer spends over a year in contract negotiations with your union, and then because they do not get one of their demands suddenly goes into “review mode” — shutdown mode, stall mode, delay mode — they are sending a message to every supervisor about exactly what they think of you and your value to this Transit Authority.

Keep that in mind when you ask why you still have not received a wage increase since 2023 or 2024.

As a union, we are preparing the next steps necessary to force these contracts forward. It should never have to come to this. But Transit leadership has chosen to make these negotiations personal, and in the process they are hurting the very people who keep this system running every single day.

This is their way of showing what they think about your service, your dedication, and your sacrifice to the Transit Authority.

Let that sink in and be guided accordingly!
