Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 313's active engagement with MetroLink management on several critical issues affecting bus operators. The union is demanding bargaining over the discontinuation of the Connect Shuttle, arguing it significantly alters working conditions and extends unpaid workdays. Additionally, ATU Local 313 is grievance-filing due to a supervisor's failure to respond to an operator's call for assistance during an unruly school tripper incident, highlighting concerns about safety and support. Furthermore, the union is requesting extensive information regarding MetroLink's implementation of an AI-based monitoring system, citing its relevance to employees' terms of employment. Finally, ATU Local 313 is also seeking resolution and information about an operator, Monica, who was improperly skipped for a Sunday work assignment, demonstrating their commitment to addressing individual member grievances.
