ATU 1576

CT Bargaining Update June 16, 2026

Today we met with Community Transit at HCSO in the Merrill Creek Conference Room for Operations CBA negotiations.

We were able to come to an agreement on Article 26 – Dispatchers, but we had to move talks of the Shift Differential to the overall Economics Package. Article 25 – Coach Operators has not been finalized yet, some movement was made Part Time Employees.

They presented an economics package that we need to go through thoroughly, but the numbers weren’t what we wanted being 2.5% per year for 3 years. More work is needed to come to an agreement. They did include retro pay in the package, but final numbers are to be determined.

Just getting economics is encouraging, but we are still fairly distant on percentages.

In attendance was President Bains, VP Perkins, IVP Cornelius, Eric Sullivan, Maxwell Lall and Financial Secretary Harlan.
