New York’s transit strike is over. Service is returning to normal after a three-day walkout that shut down the largest public transportation system in the country. On Thursday afternoon, leaders of the 33,000-member Transport Workers Union voted 36 to 5 to return to work and resume negotiations. According to several news accounts, transportation authority officials indicated they would remove a deal-breaking, last-minute demand news workers pay 6 percent of their earnings towards their pensions, up from 2 percent. Negotiations will continue towards reaching a final agreement.
