\"\"The CTA won a battle Wednesday in its bid to lay off more than 1,000 union workers next week.<\/p>\n

An arbitrator ruled the plan is legal.<\/p>\n

The issue was which workers could be laid off. The union said, under its contract, layoffs are to be made by seniority. In this case, that would’ve meant temporary and part-time employees being cut. <\/span><\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the arbitrator ruled CTA can lay off whichever workers it wants.<\/p>\n

The union called the ruling repugnant.<\/p>\n

Unless the union and the CTA reach a last-minute deal on pay cuts, 1,067 workers will be laid off on Sunday.<\/p>\n

CTA is making service cuts in conjunction with the layoffs, which will reduce frequency of service on seven CTA rail lines, eliminate nine express bus routes and reduce frequency of service on 119 bus routes and hours on 41.<\/p>\n
