We don't know a lot about this new propose contract. Remember negotiations just started. This was just propose a day ago, it's a process. Union members still have to vote yes or no. It's going to take time, but according to the propose contract there will be no give back. So the 25-55 I believe will not change.

Good Afternoon, At 3am on January 16th, Local 100 reached a tentative agreement settling our contract with the TA/OA and MTA Bus. This agreement will now go to the Executive Board for your to decide whether to recommend it to the membership. Here are some of the highlights of this agreement: Two 2.5% raises over 26 months. These raises greatly exceed inflation. A $500 bonus, valued at over half a wage point, covering the final two months of the contract. The Contract will expire on May 15th, 2019 Cash out of unused sick time upon resignation or retirement no matter how few days in the sick bank. 300% increase for drivers of artic buses. Commuter rail passes for members living in NYC. Improved shoes for all titles. Increases in longevity pay Maintainers at MTA Bus will see a reduction in their workday from 8.5 hours (includes unpaid lunch) to 8 hours, with no loss in pay. Members at TA, OA and MTA Bus will now be covered by a unified contract. For the first time in more than a decade, night/weekend differential will rise with raise. A guarantee to increase our in-house construction workforce by at least 100 workers to improve the quality of facilities and address concerns raised on behalf of female members. The Union and the Company will meet to identify even more work to bring in-house. Improvements in dental plan, which will enable us to provide coverage of dependents to 26 years. Increase in maintainer pay from $320 to $500 annually. This proposal has been unanimously approved by the Local's Executive Committee (top 10 Local officers). We will be holding an Executive Board meeting at the Union Hall, tomorrow morning. Details will follow. We will have a full discussion of the proposed agreement and answer your questions at tomorrow's Board meeting. Thank you
