Roger Toussaint Time Quotations

Despite the fact that there is limited time left, ... we still expect that our contract will be resolved well before midnight tonight.

We got the major items that were important to our members with respect to lifetime medical coverage and with respect to a pension rebate worth a lot of money. We made a concession in respect to the health benefits ... We consider that to be an appropriate and fair resolution to the strike.

I'd like to thank all the members of Local 100 for their unerring supporting and perseverance in the course of these very difficult past few weeks. We'd also like to thank the riders and working people of New York for their patience, forbearance and understanding, for the equally difficult time spent by this entire city.

We have no progress to report. That's not good because we have precious little time before the deadline approaches.

There will be nothing happening in the next few days. It is too early to say what happens now. This will take some time to figure out.
