Show Notes
A coalition of good government and business groups urges state leaders to block a Transport Workers Union effort for mandatory two-person crews on every New York City subway line. The MTA aims to cut costs and match global standards with one-person operations, but the union argues conductors are crucial for safe evacuations and job protection. The letter highlights that no other U.S. transit requires two-person crews and less than six percent of global rail lines do, warning that forcing it could waste state investments in modern signals. The TWUs international president vows to keep fighting, as contract talks heat up and the crew battle shapes the future of New Yorks subway.
