Orange County Transportation Authority officials announced the union representing maintenance employees, who have been on strike for the past several days, has agreed to meet to continue negotiations.
OCTA said the meetings have been scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 5, Sunday, Nov. 6, and Monday, Nov. 7.The union called the walkout Wednesday -- setting up picket lines at the agency's Santa Ana and Garden Grove yards -- and Thursday was the first day that bus commuters were left to look for alternate means of getting to and from work, doctor visits and other appointments.
The discussions have been mainly about resolving contract negotiations, including salaries and benefits.The Teamsters Labor Alliance Trust Fund costs $350 monthly for every plan, but the bus drivers, who are also represented by the same union, receive health care through the transportation agency and they pay $38.05 for single coverage, $108.18 for two-party coverage and $220.52 for family coverage.
A strike that was previously planned for Oct. 17 was called off when Newsom asked both sides to continue negotiations but the talks fizzled this week when Teamsters Local 952 claimed OCTA negotiators walked away from the bargaining table on Monday.
