Accord Reached to End Bus Strike on Oahu
From Times Wire Reports
Striking bus workers reached a settlement in a 31-day-old walkout that snarled traffic on the state’s most populous island.
The five-year deal includes wage and pension increases for the 1,300 bus drivers, mechanics and clerks, said a Teamsters official. No further details were released. The union will recommend the workers accept the offer at a ratification vote set for Saturday, the official added.
Bus service could resume by Monday, an Oahu Transit Services official said.
