Members of the Transport Workers Union, Local 100, cannot restore their “dues check-off” privilege, which allows the union to receive automatic dues from employees’ paychecks as a way to collect funds, because it did not “unequivocally state” that it would not strike again, a Brooklyn state Supreme Court judge ruled yesterday.
Judge Bruce Balter sided with the city’s argument that the union failed to show a good faith compliance with the Public Employees Fair Employment Act, which is known as the Taylor Law. New York state public employees are prohibited from striking under the Taylor Law.
