Gov. Kathy Hochul vetoed a bill last year that would have required all subway trains to have a two-person crew. Now, in an election year, the Transport Workers Union is pushing the issue again.

If union members ratify the deal, thousands of nurses will return to work next week, concluding a multiweek strike across several hospital systems.

The settlement comes as the Mamdani administration boosts enforcement of the city’s protections for gig economy workers.

The city says about 15,000 employees will get paid $50 for each week worked over a three-year period. For some workers, that's thousands of dollars.

The MTA has paid Kawasaki $4.5 billion since 2018 to build 1,610 new subway cars. A new report alleges the workers who build them are mistreated and underpaid.

Union leaders say low pay and grueling conditions contributed to 14 EMS workers committing suicide in the past five years.

1199 SEIU has 200,000 members in New York.

Employers with 10 or more workers would be required to develop safety programs, among other steps.

Negotiations with locomotive engineers are not scheduled to resume until Sunday.

Unsanctioned strikes spread to more than two dozen prisons across the state, with Hochul threatening to send in troops
