Item/Subject: ORDER, Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Collective Bargaining
Agreement between the City of Bangor and Amalgamated Transit Union #714
Representing Community Connector Bus Drivers.
Responsible Department: Executive
Commentary:
This order authorizes the City Manager to execute a Collective Bargaining Agreement covering
bus drivers at Community Connector transit service. Recently completed negotiations between
the City and the Union have resulted in a Tentative Agreement which was ratified by the Union
on April 13, 2014. Part-time bus drivers at Community Connector voted to unionize in the
spring of 2013, and the parties began labor negotiations in July. Over the next eight to nine
months, there were approximately twelve collective bargaining sessions that resulted in a
Tentative Agreement being reached in March. This is the first contract for this group of thirty-
five employees and the twenty-eight Articles cover a variety of topics including wages, benefits,
terms -and conditions of employment. The Agreement will expire on June 30, 2015, consistent
with the City's other labor agreements.
The Tentative Agreement was negotiated within the bargaining guidelines established by the
City Council and it was reviewed with the Council in Executive Session on April 28, 2014. The
Tentative Agreement is presented with the recommendation of the Management Negotiation
Committee.
