I believe this is a typical fine for violating the Taylor Law. I still don't think this will force the union back to work b/c they were prepared for these types of fines.

this is a typical fine for taylor law violations.... it is pretty hefty but I assume that teh union was aware that this would be imposed so they were prepared....

Plus the MTA formally declared an Impasse. Which means the formal process will be put into place and that means binding arbitration.

Re: Just in...Transit Strike Update on CNN...

they won't end up paying. Once the negotiations are finalized, they will work in 'forgiveness' of that debt into the new contact...same with the '2 day penalty' as well.
