New York City transit workers have voted to approve a contract offering the same terms as one they rejected in January, but it’s unclear whether the vote will result in a contract agreement. A judge has hit TWU Local 100 with a $2.5 million fine and its leader, Roger Toussaint with a ten day jail sentence for last year’s illegal strike. The fine is likely to be appealed. New York City’s Mass Transit Board will be presented with the union’s contract vote April 26th.
