MTA Bus Non-Union Employees v. MTA New York City Transit
Opinion of the Court
SUMMARY ORDER
In this appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Rakoff, J.), we conclude, first, that the court was within its discretion to retain supplemental jurisdiction over Appellants’ state law claims.
But that is not the case here. After the Impasse Award raised Local 100’s contributions and benefits, the MTA did not increase Appellants’ contributions without a corresponding increase to benefits. To the contrary, the MTA left Appellants’ contributions and benefits unchanged, waiving its right to impose increased contributions. Therefore, even if Appellants are correct that the Plan prohibits the MTA from raising contributions in line with Local 100’s CBA without a corresponding change to benefits, the Plan does not compel defendants to increase Appellants’ benefits having foregone any increase to contributions.
We affirm the judgment of the District Court.
