$500 Contractual Bonus Coming this Month

The final economic piece of the union’s 2017 contractual agreement with the MTA – a $500 lump sum bonus – will be paid in members’ checks in the March 20th and 21st pay period.
 
The contract provided a 2.5 percent across-the-board increase on Jan. 16, 2017; a 2.5 percent increase on Feb. 16, 2018, and now the $500 lump sum bonus.
 
The union’s agreement with the MTA expires on May 16, 2019.  
 
Local 100 President Tony Utano said that the lump sum payment, minus taxes, will be paid in the employee’s regular check.
