Tbta 5606

[CO HOPEFUL]

They are not going to hire anyone from this list . The new contract will entice a lot of the tbta officers to not retire especially when they are getting paid a lot more money . Think about it guys . The mta will just pay overtime if needed instead of hiring new blood .

With this new contract they created a new wage progression of 2 additional steps to top pay for new hires (7 years now), new hires pay 2% into medical. The MTA is still working towards additional work rule changes (more LE oriented than current work rules) and they probably won’t hire until those work rules are changed.

Nice to see you around here again. Thanks for the update! Exciting stuff. Stick around a bit

180 Bridge and Tunnel Officers will be deployed to patrol NYC Subways on a joint task force with MTAPD to combat fare evasion. The task force is geared to enforce fare evasion and promote employee safety in reducing assaults on MTA employees in the transit and bus systems. Bridge and Tunnel Officers were awarded a CBA of total 23% bringing top pay to $80k. Part of the CBA is an agreement to bring remaining work rules in front of an arbitrator for compensation (the rumored number is 93k for top pay). BTOBA pattern bargaining was taken away from TWU with this contract and given pattern with MTAPD. Honestly this is the first time I’ve seen such major changes on this job and it’s actually quite exciting, a lot of us are looking forward to the new functions and partnerships.

Any new word when the list and processing is going to start ?

Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Monday announced he would be directing 500 additional law enforcement agents to the subway system to combat assaults against transit workers and what the MTA believes to be an increase in fare evasion. Cuomo said he also will explore additional video monitoring.

Of the 500 new police officers, 200 will be added NYPD officers; 200 will be redeployed MTA police and another 100 will be transferred from the MTA Bridge and Tunnel police force. The force will begin ramping up on Monday, with the added officers focusing on 50 subway stations and another 50 bus routes. Cuomo said there is a correlation between stations and routes where there is a high level of worker assaults and fare evasion.

A Subway is technically a tunnel and an elevated one fits the definition of a bridge

Guess they found something for TBTA to do

[nycapomts]

They mostly don't know what they want to do.

Well remember it the MTA and that means that can't never count on them for anything. Also it be nice to get current Officers explain the present and the future of TBTA Police force as I know there is a bill in the senate for Police Officer statues.

Definitely with you on this. With this Agency you have to treat every rumor even if is coming from reliable source as " I believe it when I see it". Because I have friends that should know anything regarding new folks coming in and they are at times clueless.

I wonder if their union doesn't go down to HQ to pressure to hire !

If they plan on having a class by the end of the year the list needs to get established very soon as there's only 6 months left for the year. I'll believe it when I see it

I’ve herd from my sources that this class is going to be the biggest. Expect to hear something towards the end of the year.

One of my coworkers brother is a Trooper, and was posted to the RFK Bridge. He basically said his day was to just sit there, and it’s a ****ing match between the mayor and the governor, and has nothing to do with NYSP trying to, for lack of better words, “infiltrate”, and take over bridges and tunnels. I heard they recently built a new academy/training facility next to the psychiatric center on Randalls Island, so I’m sure they have something in store.

[nycapomts]

so does anybody have an accurate answer or where it could be speculation of the list released of the march 2015 exam of we will wait an other 100 years (sarcastically )

Well as of right now no new information from my sources, I at times loose hope when I see NYSP in the bridges or tunnels. Example the Henry Hudson small but still MTA and I always see one State Trooper and no TBTA Police. I really would love to give better information.
