Everett Transit drivers, maintenance workers get pay bumps
EVERETT — Everett Transit drivers, inspectors and maintenance workers are set to get raises and bonuses up to $3,000 after approving a new contract.
The Everett City Council authorized Mayor Cassie Franklin to sign the three-year agreement with Amalgamated Transit Union 883 Wednesday night. It concludes negotiations that started in late fall.
Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) 883 president Steve Oss, an Everett Transit employee for 26 years, said members overwhelmingly approved the collective bargaining agreement.
ATU 883’s roughly 100 members will get a $1,500 signing bonus. Then they’ll receive another $1,500 or 40 hours of vacation Dec. 1.
