The San Mateo County Transit District reached a unanimous agreement with the Teamsters Local 856 for a new three-year contract that includes a pay increase for SamTrans’ employees, according to the district.
The new agreement calls for a 3% wage increase and a $2,500 lump sum, followed by an additional 3% wage increase and another $1,000 lump sum in September 2022 and a third 3% wage increase in September 2023.
“Our employees stepped up in the past year and a half, helping people get where they need to go in the most difficult of circumstances,” SamTrans General Manager/CEO Carter Mau said in a prepared statement. “This pay increase recognizes their dedication and professionalism, which is vital to keeping SamTrans running.”
The Teamsters represent 45 members in the following units — Bus Contract Inspector Unit, Bus Transportation Supervisory Unit, Facility Maintenance Technician Unit, Maintenance Instructor Unit, Transit Inspector Unit and Utility/Maintenance Supervisory Unit. SamTrans is in ongoing negotiations with ATU Local 1574, which represents bus operators and maintenance staff and Call Center employees, according to the district.
