Around the Region: Transit Union Tries to Schedule Election Re-Run


Transport Workers Union Local 100, representing NYC Transit bus, subway and other workers, is seeking to schedule the re-run of its union elections for May, though the dissident New Directions groups wants the election to be later. The election is being held a second time under orders from the TWU international headquarters following complaints by New Directions. Observers give New Directions a strong chance of winning the election, but how the group's militancy within union politics might translate to union policy under New Directions leadership is unclear.
