The payroll issue, which began in early July, remains unresolved for some staff.

The district attributes the problem to a software switch to the Oracle platform.

Despite union meetings with the district, the RTA says there’s no sign of a resolution.

The union has contacted the New York State Department of Labor and is prepared to take further collective action.

Union says ‘no evidence’ RCSD payroll issue will be fixed by September
