the MTA failed to record more than 200 assaults against workers in required injury logs over the course of 2019 and 2020, according to notices of violation and an accompanying investigative narrative obtained by The Post. <\/p>\n<p>DOL also dinged MTA New York City Transit for missing required elements of the state-mandate \u201cworkplace violence prevention program\u201d and failing to provide

annually,\u201d according to the notice of violation dated April 1.<\/p>\n<p>The MTA was previously dinged in November 2019 for failing to \u201cestablish and implement reporting system for incidents of workplace violence,\u201d but the problem has persisted, according to the document.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\"
