Community Transit ATU Bargaining Update 7.23.2025

ATU Local 1576 Bargaining Update

Community Transit Employees

Date: July 23, 2025

Dear ATU Local 1576 Members,

Your ATU bargaining committee met at Community Transit for our second negotiation session today.  The meeting was productive with good discussion.  CT presented ATU with a proposal; however they indicated that they did not yet have a wage proposal for us to review.  

ATU and CT reached agreement on CBA housekeeping (typos, outdated references) and items with minor changes on several articles. Having completed these tasks, we are now able to narrow the scope of bargaining to the more substantive issues. 

The members of your bargaining unit today were:

• Dani Julien, President, 
• Lela Perkins, Vice President, 
• Dave Thompson, Financial Secretary/Treasurer, 
• Risë Gamble, Recording Secretary
• Eric Adams, Executive Board
• Jaswinder Bains, Executive Board
• Robert Gaines, Executive Board
• Maxwell Lall, Executive Board
• William Love, Executive Board
• Eric Sullivan, Executive Board

Feel free to reach out to any of us with questions. We will continue to update you as negotiations progress.

We have another bargaining session at the ATU Labor Temple on July 30. 

In solidarity,

ATU Local 1576
