With the help of a federal mediator, the GRTC regional bus company in Richmond, Va. and its workers' union have reached a tentative agreement on a new, short-term employment contract. The Amalgamated Transit Union's Local 1220, which represents 278 members of GRTC's 492 employees, rejected the company's contract proposal last month. After meeting with a federal mediator, the union and GRTC officials were able to reach agreement and resolve the impasse. Members of the workers' union still must ratify the proposed contract settlement before it goes into effect.
