Teamsters Ratify New 3-Year Deal With Transit Contractor

Union bus workers in Washoe County have ratified a new 3-year agreement.

Teamsters Union Local 533 agreed to terms with Texas-based MV Transportation which employs drivers, mechanics and dispatchers for RTC buses.

Their previous contract expired back on June 30th, and a secret ballot last month voted down the previous offer.

The new deal counts retroactively to July 1st, and includes boosts for wages and benefits.
