Durham School Bus Workers in Baltimore Ratify ‘Rich’ First Contract Sept. 26, 2022 | Drivers and monitors at Durham School Services in Baltimore have voted overwhelmingly to ratify their first collective bargaining agreement with Teamsters Local 570. The workers who provide student transportation services for Baltimore public schools voted to organize with the union in March this year.
The new three-year agreement includes several significant improvements for the workers. These include wage increases upwards of 30 percent throughout the lifetime of the contract, an increase in the minimum hourly guarantees the workers receive, and a new policy that allows new drivers and monitors to receive the top rate of pay after completing one year of service. This is in addition to the non-economic benefits the workers now have, such as seniority, a grievance procedure, and much more.
"These negotiations were never about 'me' but about 'we,'" said committee member Kartika Easley, a bus monitor. "After these negotiations, we can only go up from here." Teamsters Local 570 represents workers in a wide variety of industries throughout Baltimore and the surrounding communities. |
