The Tillamook County Transportation District Board of Directors unanimously approved the new contract at its February 21 meeting. “We are pleased to have an agreement with union leadership that is fair to our employees and recognizes their value to the community,” said District Board Chair Mary Johnson.
ATU Local 757 and the Tillamook County Transportation District are proud to announce the successful ratification of a five (5) year contract for the ATU members in Tillamook, OR. “ATU members in Tillamook love their community and have a big heart for what they do. The District and the union are proud to work together to keep the community moving,” said Shirley Block, President, ATU Local 757.
The new contract – which covers drivers, dispatchers, and vehicle maintenance employees – includes wage increases for all ATU members, updated language responsive to Oregon’s anti-discrimination laws, the addition of Juneteenth as a holiday, increased bereavement leave, and much more. Both the District and the union came to the negotiating table with good ideas about how to solve problems and support ATU members.
“The union and the District are hopeful that the strong collective bargaining agreement, increased wages, and community-focused mission will increase employee retention levels and attract talented applicants to the District,” said Tillamook County Transportation District General Manager, Brian Vitulli.
