, finalized Friday, that will usher in raises exceeding 25% over three years as the transit agency aims to fill gaps in frontline positions.Lance Longenbohn, left, president of Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1001, discusses a new labor contract during a news conference with Regional Transportation District general manager and CEO Debra Johnson and Doug MacLeod, RTD’s chief financial officer, in Denver on March 18, 2022. Other union officials also were on hand.
Union president Lance Longenbohn characterized five months of negotiations as “a very smooth process.” That’s a contrast with the more acrimonious contract talks that produced the previous contract. Across-the-board raises for mechanics, technicians and other employees in RTD’s more than 2,100 union-covered jobs will be 16% this year, retroactive to Jan. 1; operators get a slightly higher boost, at 16.6%, in order to make the starting wage hit an even $24. All will receive additional 4% raises at the start of 2023 and again in 2024. Those raisesin late February, as the contract was still being finalized.
