We have reached a one year agreement with the Amalgamated Transit

the City Council's wage guideline for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2004. We
have also agreed to provide paid Funeral Leave for Part-time Bus Operators and
to incorporate in the agreement the long standing practice of providing payment
to Part-time Bus Operators while on jury duty.
