About 2,500 rowdy transit workers clogged the sidewalks and streets near MTA headquarters yesterday to protest the agency’s legal challenge to recently awarded raises.
The rally — which took up all of West 44th Street between Fifth and Sixth avenues — resembled the hordes of TWU Local 100 members who demonstrated before the 2005 Christmas-season transit strike.
The union wants the MTA to drop a lawsuit aiming to halt 11 percent raises and health-care contribution rollbacks over the next three years.
