Civil Service Forum v. New York City Transit Authority

New York Court of Appeals April 3, 1958

Civil Service Forum v. New York City Transit Authority, 4 N.Y.2d 866 (N.Y. 1958)

174 N.Y.S.2d 234

Burke, Conway, Desmond, Dye, Fuld, Van Voorhis

Opinion of the Court

Judgment affirmed, with costs; no opinion.

Concurring Opinion

Van Voobhis, J.

I concur for affirmance mainly by reason of the limited nature of this contract combined with the history of unionization of this industry while under private ownership and the presence in the contract of a clause permitting it to be cancelled by the Authority at any time.

Chief Judge Conway and Judges Desmond, Dye, Fuld and Bubke concur in decision; Judge Van Voobhis concurs in decision in memorandum in which Judge Fboessel also concurs.
