The Regional Transportation District and its union announced Friday the authorization of a new three-year contract that include raises of at least 25% for union operators over the span of the contract.
RTD’s board of directors authorized the agreement between and the union, Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1001 , which represents about two-thirds of RTD employees, which will push starting hourly pay for bus and rail operators from $20.58 to $24 an hour.
Under the contract, entry-level wages for various positions are as follows: $30.25 for general repair mechanics in bus operations; $35.65 for signal/traction power maintainers in light rail maintenance; $34.48 for journeyman electricians in facilities maintenance; $33.77 for electro mechanics in light rail maintenance; and $29.68 for track maintainers in commuter rail maintenance.
RTD management and the union will also discuss the potential for four 10-hour workdays for employees and add more ability for employees to take paid time off under the new agreement. The tentative agreement between RTD and the union was reached on Feb. 28 after five months of negotiations, and ATU 1001 members ratified the contract on Thursday.
