VTA has proposed a new contract for its frontline workers, represented by ATU Local 265, following a significant strike this year. The contract includes a 14.5% pay increase over four years, improved dental benefits, and updated workplace policies. A vote will be held to decide on the offer, which echoes deals made with other VTA unions. Union President Raj Singh conveyed the members' frustrations over VTA's slow negotiation pace and noted the importance of member input on the proposal, which could potentially take effect soon after approval.
Putting all that into consideration, the union leadership feels that it's important to let our members have the ultimate say if they want to take this deal, because it's significantly different.
The agency is negotiating three other union contracts while ATU Local 265 was on strike, which has frustrated union members about the lack of urgency.
