Working people across the United States regularly step up to help out our friends, neighbors and communities during these trying times. In our Service & Solidarity Spotlight series, we’ll showcase one of these stories every day. Here’s today’s story.
IAM Union recently announced the successful ratification of a new collective bargaining agreement covering members who work for Greyhound nationwide, calling it the “strongest contract yet.”
The three-year deal includes major victories such as wage increases of more than 3% every year, a new vacation schedule, boosted tool allowance and more.
“This was a challenging negotiation due to Greyhound’s transition to its new parent company Flix SE, but our team secured the best contract to date for our members,” said IAM Automotive Director Craig Hughes. “I want to thank IAM leadership for expanding our department and bringing on Special Representative Heather Hildebrand. Heather did an outstanding job leading these negotiations for the first time.”
“Our members stood strong, and we delivered real gains in pay, benefits, and career opportunities,” Hildebrand added. “It was an honor to lead this negotiation alongside such a committed bargaining committee. This agreement reflects the strength of IAM members at Greyhound and the value they bring to the company every day.”
