MCTS and ATU Issue Joint Statement

July 30, 2015

On July 30, at contract negotiations, the Milwaukee County Transit System (MCTS) and the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 998 (ATU) made progress toward a four-year agreement.  

MCTS presented a comprehensive proposal which the union will be reviewing and considering. The parties will resume negotiations with the assistance of the Federal Mediator on Aug. 10, in an effort to reach an agreement.  

Out of respect for the ongoing talks, both MCTS and ATU have agreed they will not publicly discuss this matter or details until after the next meeting.
