The head of New York City's transit union is planning to ask for a revote on the contract that was rejected by a seven vote margin earlier this year. Transport Workers Union Local 100 President Roger Toussaint said that after polling the members, he believes the proposal will pass, although it isn't clear if the Metropolitan Transit Authority is still open to accepting the contract. If not approved negotiations run the risk of heading for arbitration. Both sides have been unwilling to sit down at the negotiation table.
