Buses Contract Update

Published by Philip Valenti on

Let me take a minute of your time to give you a quick update on where we are with the MaBSTOA, Queens and MTA Bus contracts. We have not had a meeting with management in a while, primarily because of management’s summer vacation schedules. We expect negotiations to get moving again shortly. However, as I have said several times already, what caused these contracts to be dragged out: management’s demands regarding the Bus Command Center (BCC).

Those demands were unexceptable and we could not agree to the proposed changes they wanted.

As soon as negotiations resume and there is something meaningful to report, we will keep the membership informed.

We are ready to get back to the table. We are ready to negotiate. But we will not agree to unacceptable demands just to get a contract signed.

Philip Valenti, President
