Service & Solidarity Spotlight: ATU Members Reach 3-Year Deal with Denver Regional Transportation District

Working people across the United States regularly step up to help out our friends, neighbors and communities during these trying times. In our Service & Solidarity Spotlight series, we’ll showcase one of these stories every day. Here’s today’s story.

Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 1001 members and the Denver Regional Transportation District (RTD) reached a tentative labor deal that will mean significant raises for the transit agency’s bus drivers, mechanics and other front-line workers. A bulletin posted to the ATU Local 1001’s website said the 15.5% raise over three years is 1.5% higher than what RTD had offered.

“Thanks to the ATU 1001 Membership standing up, showing up, and letting RTD hear from them, there was movement,” the bulletin said.

The members of ATU Local 1001 still need to vote to approve the contract.
