On February 16, 2022, at 9am, the Akron METRO RTA Board of Trustees held a special session to vote on the agreement reached by TWU Local 1 and METRO RTA.

The board voted in support of the contract that was overwhelmingly ratified by our membership on February 8, 2022.

The Results Are:

186 Yes

25 No

We would like to begin by thanking you for your patience during the negotiations process. We also thank you for taking time out of your Sunday to attend the Zoom call to go over the summary of the Tentative Agreement that was reached between the Union and the Company. We appreciate all the questions that were asked and all the comments that were expressed.

We took the time to distribute the summary to each and every member available, between the time agreement was reached, the Zoom call and the VOTE which will take place on February 8, 2022, in an effort to make sure the membership is well informed on what will change and also what will not change.

Last but certainly not least, we want to thank Wayne Cole and John Anderson for their invaluable knowledge of the contract, input into the negotiations and hard work getting the information into the hands of our hard working members.
