The Local 100 executive board has voted overwhelmingly to extend strike action to all MTA properties immediately.

The latest proposal is a very bad proposal and it remains to be seen how serious they are about this or whether they are trying to intimidate our members.

The members came to doubt that the key benefits of the deal would be forthcoming.

An agreement will never ever, ever, ever be resolved by fear and intimidation.

The clock is ticking and we have almost run out of time. I'm going to leave here and go back to the hotel and give it one more shot.

The hearts and minds of New York's transit workers are with Matthew and the entire Long family; we are praying for his recovery.

If Gov. Pataki wants to play a constructive role he should get involved in these negotiations, and he should restore money to mass transit because ... the state government has taken out funds from mass transit ... (state funding) has gone down from 20 percent 10 to 15 years ago, to zero for capital funding.

I'll go in. Jail is not a problem.

If the pension demands ... come off the table, that would go a long way to us resuming the negotiations and resolving the strike.

I'm pleased to announce that the local 100 executive board just voted overwhelmingly to direct transit workers to return to work immediately and to resume bus and subway service throughout the five boroughs in New York City.
