TWU Local 100 has filed court papers seeking restoration of dues check-off. While we hope that check-off will be restored, members should be aware that this involves a complicated process that won’t finish up in a few days or even a few weeks.
On October 4, our lawyers filed papers in Kings County Supreme Court. This is the first step of many. Most likely, there will be a round of preliminary filings, a round of hearings, and a round of final filings. In the course of this, the State Attorney General and the MTA will submit oral arguments or briefs. While the City is technically not a party to the case, it is possible that the Mayor may do so as well. In the end, if the Court rules in favor of restoring the check-off, more time will still be needed for the MTA to put check-off back into operation.
