MTA to Layoff Around 1,000 | TravelingCrossing

The New York MTA has announced an additional approximately 1,000 positions that are being eliminated. Aaron Donovan, spokesman for MTA, said that the exact number is unknown.

On the list to be cut are 116 cleaning jobs. Previously the subway cars were cleaned at the end of their run, and will now be cleaned at the end of each round-trip. There are hundreds of administrative and managerial positions that are on the chopping block as well.

The cumulative cuts announced are anticipated to save $115 million and defray an overwhelming operating deficit. The changes are to go into effect as soon as possible.

eMTA announced yet another 2,000 job cuts were halted last night by a court injunction. There will be a court hearing on the issue Monday.
