Fairfax Connector workers may strike again

After almost three more months of fruitless contract negotiations with Fairfax Connector contractor Transdev — coupled with Fairfax County’s failure to deliver on their promise to assist in reaching a fair deal — ATU Local 1764 Fairfax Connector workers have begun preparations for a second possible unfair labor practice strike. “Transdev has once again pushed our members to the brink,” said ATU International President John Costa. “While we remain committed to negotiating with Transdev to reach a fair and just contract, we are disappointed that Fairfax County hasn’t stepped in as promised to ensure Transdev gives our members — who serve their community — the fair contract they deserve. We are once again left with no other option but to strongly consider walking off the job again later this week.” Early last December, the more 500 Fairfax Connector workers walked off the job for four days.
