According to J. P. Patafio, the local's chairman for the Jackie Gleason Bus Depot in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, the petitions, put into circulation about a week ago by disgruntled members of Transport Workers Union Local 100, had been signed by thousands of bus and subway workers by yesterday. he said that it is spreading and he thinks there will be enough support to petition for a second contract vote and that so far about 500 of the 800 union workers at his depot have signed the petitions. Mr. Patafio said most union members viewed the contract terms, rejected by a margin of only seven votes in January, with 22,461 workers casting their votes, as preferable to any agreement that would be produced by binding arbitration, as is being sought by the transit authority.
