In
a definite sign of progress, mediators who met separately with the
transit union and the MTA all morning, announced Thursday that both
sides have agreed to resume talks while the union takes steps to return
members to work, thereby ending the strike.



Representatives from the union and the MTA unexpectedly returned to
the Midtown Grand Hyatt early Thursday morning, where they met
separately with mediators from the state Public Employment Relations
Board (PERB).



No formal negotiations have been scheduled, but mediator Richard
Curreri said the executive board of the TWU is expected to vote on the
issue of sending members back to work as talks resume.
