Off the tracks

摘要

THE 7m New Yorkers who use the subway and buses may have to dust off their bicycles and lace up their running shoes. The transport workers' contract is due to expire on December 15th. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), the state agency that runs the subway and bus lines, and the TWU Local 100, the 34,000-strong transport-workers' union, are still tussling over a new contract. The union will vote on December 10th on whether to strike if an agreement has not been banged out by next Thursday.
