Amalgamated Transit Workers local 22 union president Christopher Bruce says the WRTA and City Manager have backed off imposing their “last and final” contract offer, and in response the union has called off its strike for 15 days, referring to it as a “cooling off” period.
When asked what changed, Bruce said pressure on the WRTA and city by “friends of labor,” as he put it, will send both sides back to the table with a federal mediator.
