The House narrowly passed its fiscal 2027 defense policy bill, backing a 5–7% pay raise for service members but not guaranteeing a DoD civilian pay raise, and rejected amendments to probe military civilian workforce reductions and anti-union provisions. The legislation also bars funding to terminate certain civilian employees and to implement executive-order changes limiting collective bargaining, with Senate counterparts debating pay scales and facing similar Democratic opposition.

Full contract terms remain undisclosed, and ratification by the five unions and the MTA board is still required. Budget flexibility suggests fare increases will stay within the usual biannual 4%, rather than a larger hike.
