The TWU/MTA arbitration decision and dissent
BySubmitted without comment, for now, is the document that has unleashed a labor war on these pages. The MTA/TWU arbitration decision has been a topic of discussion for much of the last two days, and below is a Scribd copy of the document. You can find the PDF of it right here on the Public Employment Relations Board website.
The opinion contains two parts: the majority order and a dissent by Dall W. Forsythe, the MTA’s selection to serve on the three-member arbitration panel. Check it out.

That’s not a PDF. This is a PDF. Scribd sucks, for a variety of reasons, but if you really want to use it please put in a link to the PDF that we can download without registering for their site. Sorry to be cranky, but you can have too much Flash.
Notice that the MTA rep. clearly states that the cost of the wage increases to the MTA will be 2.5% in both 2009 and 2010 and 3.0% in 2011.
