The ongoing strike by Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) workers entered its third week as the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 265 rejected a new contract proposal. The proposal included an 11% pay increase over three years conditioned on agreeing to reduce absenteeism and other terms. However, 83% of union members voted against it, reflecting a strong desire for improved working conditions and rights. Union leaders emphasized the need for a fair contract to ensure members' dignity and safety while VTA maintained their offer's competitiveness amid broader job insecurities.
