UNITED STATES - DECEMBER 22: An MTA bus running on the BM1 line is pictured in New York Thursday, December 22, 2005. Striking subway and bus workers in New York City ended a three-day walkout today. Transport Workers Union Local 100 leaders agreed to call off the strike while negotiations on a contract resume, said Richard Curreri, a state mediator. The union's board voted 36-5 with two abstentions this afternoon to accept the return-to-work plan, board member Eladio Diaz said. (Photo by John Marshall Mantel/Bloomberg via Getty Images)
