It was déjà vu at the Tommy Douglas Conference Center last week. Almost three years to the day, ATU Local 1777-Gaithersburg, MD, reached another strong tentative agreement with Challenger Transportation. The new 3-year agreement improves on their first contract from September 2019 with higher wages, more holidays and vacation, a more secure retirement, and other improvements. As he did three years ago, International President John Costa celebrated the deal with Local 1777 President Patricia Hall and the negotiating team including ATU International Vice President Natalie Cruz, Local 689-Washington, DC, President Raymond Jackson and Recording Secretary Barry Donnie Wilson, who assisted in the contract negotiations.
