Working people across the United States have stepped 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.

RTC bus drivers in Las Vegas, represented by Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 1637, voted to accept a new contract after months of negotiations, threats of a strike, and a previous tentative contract agreement that was rejected. There were 363 members who voted to approve the new contract. RTC workers cite improved safety and better pay as their primary concerns.
