All Fairfax Connector buses will return to normal operations today (Monday) after a worker strike ends.
Transdev, the company that recently took on a new contract to operate buses for the county, is ending the strike without a negotiated contract.
The Amalgamated Transit Unions 1764 told WTOP that a deal is within reach, although issues like wages, vacation, sick time and retirement remain to be ironed out.
“We still have items to negotiate, but our riders come first and foremost for us. We are going back to work because their support and that of elected officials and allies have helped us make significant advances at the table,” said ATU International President John Costa said in a release Sunday night.
