AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Discussion
RECOMMENDATION:
Informational report for discussion
BACKGROUND:
The Utah Public Transit District Act grants collective bargaining rights to certain employees at Utah Transit Authority (UTA). UTA currently has employees that are represented by two different unions. Operators, Mechanics, and Parts employees are represented by Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU), Local 382. TRAX Supervisors are represented by Teamsters, Local 222.
DISCUSSION:
UTA collectively bargains with these union representatives on required topics of bargaining as noted in state statute. UTA has entered into a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) with each union. Each CBA includes negotiated processes for working through complaints and concerns. UTA’s Labor Relations team is responsible for bargaining all successor CBAs, processing grievances, and negotiating mandatory subjects of bargaining, as necessary.
