LIU STATEMENT ON BUS CONTRACTS
City Comptroller John C. Liu stated the following on the Amalgamated Transit Union's offer to end its bus strike:
"We urge Mayor Bloomberg to accept the ATU's call to end their strike and return to work in exchange for further negotiations. The drivers need to get back to their routes, and the Mayor needs to sit with them and the companies and negotiate in good faith. Parents and kids need reliable transportation to school – and they also need the Mayor to go the extra mile to end this strike."
