A New York City transit workers' union is demanding action against judges they accuse of releasing violent offenders who later target public transit employees, arguing that lenient sentencing undermines worker safety. The union claims some judges have repeatedly freed individuals with histories of assaulting transit staff, raising concerns about judicial oversight in cases involving repeat offenders. With transit workers facing escalating threats, the union is pushing for stricter accountability measures, including potential disciplinary action against judges deemed too lenient. The call comes amid growing frustration over what advocates describe as a pattern of insufficient consequences for attackers.
