TWU Scores Big Win in Albany on Tier 6

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20 – Late last night, TWU Local 100-supported legislation to lift the Overtime Cap on the Tier 6 Pension for transit workers passed the State Assembly less than 24 hours after it passed the State Senate in a display of TWU political might as the legislative session is scheduled to adjourn today.

Local 100 President Tony Utano called the Legislature’s action “a major breakthrough for Tier 6 members and an enormous step forward to full pension equity.”

Assemblyman Peter Abbate, the main sponsor of the bill in the Assembly, said the process for final enactment by the Governor could take until the end of the year.
