The transit union’s last chance to avoid arbitration is tomorrow.
Richard Curreri, the top mediator of the Public Employment Relations Board, will meet with the transit union and the MTA seperately Tuesday. No other details about the meetings have been released but it doesn’t like the TWU or MTA will meet face to face.
“It represents one final opportunity to see if the parties can resolve their dispute voluntarily,” said James Edgar, executive director of PERB.
If not, then it’s binding arbitration -- something the MTA wanted all along.
