Show Notes
The Transport Workers Union files a lawsuit against the MTA, challenging a new policy that allows subway token booths to remain unstaffed when regular agents are absent. The union argues this change, part of efforts to have agents work more directly with riders, violates a 2022 agreement and poses safety risks, especially for passengers with disabilities and those relying on booth agents for directions and emergencies. The MTA defends the policy as part of a deal for extra pay for agents to assist at gates and throughout stations, adding to tensions with the union and city officials.
