Mayor Miro Weinberger Statement Urging Resolution of the CCTA Negotiations
“I am pleased to hear from both the drivers’ union and CCTA management that they appear to have achieved consensus on the remaining issues during last night’s negotiation session. I appreciate the focus and commitment demonstrated by both parties to end the strike. I urge the drivers to approve this agreement today so our impacted schoolchildren, families, patients, and neighboring community members can get back on the bus as soon as possible. The drivers should vote with confidence that Burlington has heard their concerns about the need to improve workplace culture and is committed to working in the months ahead to ensure meaningful follow-through on CCTA management’s commitments to improve that culture. I thank Senator Sanders and the Burlington City Council for their contributions toward resolving this situation and Governor Shumlin for the leadership he displayed yesterday in bringing the parties together.”
