Union and TCAT Negotiators Avert Bus Strike
Friday, September 12th, 2008
After a marathon 17-hour session of bargaining, negotiators for Tompkins Consolidated Area Transit and representatives for Local 2300 Union of Auto Workers reached a tentative agreement for a new 3-year contract yesterday, the exact day that their previous contract expired. Had they not reached an agreement, TCAT bus service might have been suspended until a new contract was agreed upon. Thank god, because the drunk freshmen coming back from Collegetown tonight seriously need bus drivers to harass.
