MTA sues transit workers union over its challenge to disciplinary process for suspended bus operator

The MTA sued TWU Local 100, the union representing its bus workers, to block arbitration over a disciplinary process for a suspended bus operator. The operator was arrested for 'threats of violence' and accused by a coworker of physical threats, prompting the MTA to require a psychological evaluation. The union challenged the MTA's submission of disciplinary documents to medical services, arguing they should be handled by labor relations offices.
