ATU Local 788 ratifies new contract with Metro Transit
Amalgamated Transit Union Local 788 (St. Louis) has approved a new three-year contract with Bi-State Development Board of Commissioners, which oversees the Metro Transit system.
Local 788 members approved the contract last month after rejecting a previous contract offer in October. Local 788 represents about 1,500 employees including MetroBus drivers and MetroLink operators.
The new contract includes a higher starting pay for bus drivers and a rollover of employee health plan contributions to address rising insurance costs.
“It was a long fight,” Reggie Howard, president of Local 788, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. “But we feel really good about it.”
