Agreeing to allow the vote as to whether they should or should not go back to work is not a settlemen. Of course the NYSlimes uses the slick willie dictionary.

The agreement, they said, would give every side some of what it asked for. It's a Pyrrhic victory for the city then.

From WINS News
1010 WINS) (NEW YORK) BREAKING: A state mediator says the striking union and the transit authority have agreed to resume negotiations while transit workers take steps to return to work.
Transit workers will take steps to restore service to New York's buses and subways while the union and transit authority resume negotiations after a three-day strike, a state mediator announced Thursday morning.
No timetable was announced for the restoration of service.
"Both parties have a genuine desire to resolve their differences,'' said Richard Curreri, head of a three-member state mediation panel. "They have agreed to resume negotiations while the TWU takes steps to return its membership.''

No Republican since Reagan has had the guts to do that, especially not Pataki The words guts and Pataki should not be used in the same breath. The man is a wholly owned subsidiary of various special interest groups.

The vote will be a formality.
But this is bullsh**.
A media blackout?!
Since when do those scumbags get to dictate to the media what they will and will not report.
I can't believe they postponed Toussaint's court date and allowed those snakes to get away with this.

Yeah, I think he's been arrested in the neighborhood of four or five dozen times.
Path trains, the IRT, LIRR, the whole works.
You've got to admire his persistence.
Or at the very least, his insanity.

Settlement = Move out of New York City.. and work someplace else.. many problems solved..

Wonder if they can file a class action suit against the TWU for loss of revenue.

If they get ANYTHING that they asked for...than it's a huge win for them and a defeat for every other city that relies of mass transit...

This was all about staying out of jail for Toussaint.
His veeps want him in jail, they're at war with him.
It's too early to call this 'settled'.

Toussaint has to go to his board for approval to send the workers back.

Rightfully so.
I'm listening to a retired police officer talking to Gambling right now.
Talking about arbitration.
I can't believe the reasoning of some of these people.
To: OldFriend
Well if he knows whats good for him he better. The judge will give him jail time otherwise. I think that is what scared him.
