Denver Transit Board Approves New Contract
From Times Wire Reports
The executive board of the Denver mass transit system approved a new labor contract, clearing the way for bus and train service to resume by Monday.
Striking bus drivers, train operators and mechanics had approved the contract Friday.
Although the latest deal was worth the same as previous offers -- $15.3 million -- workers will receive more of it in the first part of the three-year contract, officials said.
Nearly 1,750 union members walked off the job last Monday.
