Ta Surface

 As the MTA becomes more corporate, management has continued to look for ways to squeeze more work out of us and cut labor costs. Members F1rst has fought back, defending your job times and pushing back against  management’s attempts to stretch work hours and reduce job times.

We continue to push for fair picks, ensuring that every bus operator and maintainer has an equal opportunity for the best routes and work conditions.

We’ve fought to secure high-paying

work and overtime opportunities for

our members, ensuring that local work stays with our union and benefits you.

 Through arbitration victories on critical

issues like assaults, reinstatements, and the 30-day rule, we’ve delivered stronger protections for our members on the job.

Every depot may have its own style, but we are part of one Division, and our unity in dealing with the centralized MTA has been critical to our success.

We continue to fight for professional,

organized representation in every depot.
