More than 30% of SamTrans union bus drivers participated in a sick-out due to contract disputes, affecting bus schedules to maintain service for thousands of riders.
Randol White emphasized that SamTrans is prioritizing critical routes, stating that 'for many people who depend on SamTrans, there are no alternative transportation options.'
The rejected three-year contract proposal offered substantial pay raises for bus drivers, mechanics, and customer service representatives, indicating ongoing tensions in labor negotiations.
SamTrans remains committed to finding a resolution with ATU members, citing the necessity of collaboration and leadership responsibility in submitting proposals moving forward.
