UPDATE: If no deal on a new contract is reached, more than 600 bus drivers in Orange County could go on strike as soon as today. The two sides were in negotiations overnight and into this morning.
— If no deal on a new contract is reached, more than 600 bus drivers with the Orange County Transportation Authority, potentially interrupting the commutes of thousands of riders.
“We believe the riders will understand why we are striking when they find out they don’t get any restroom breaks and no raise, especially when the board got a wage increase, yet they’ve given us zero,” Teamsters Local 952 union CEO Eric Jimenez said Monday. “I think they’ll understand and fight with us.”
“Very tough on me, I live over in Anaheim and live in a sober living as well,” said bus rider Adrian Sandoval. “I really don’t have a ride to get here and get back.”
