Restore the original intent of Section 10(c) of the Urban Mass Transportation Act

“Section 10(c) of the Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1964 was initially intended to protect bargaining rights for workers in privately owned transit systems that were being absorbed by government-operated agencies. The provision has mutated into a requirement that any transit agency receiving federal funds cannot reduce compensation, an interpretation that far exceeds the original statute. … Returning to the original intent would allow transit agencies to adjust fringe benefits without fearing a federal lawsuit.”
