The Tucson City Council made a political statement Wednesday in the ongoing Sun Tran strike, telling the management to “make every effort to resolve the labor dispute immediately.”
Thursday marks the 36th day of the strike.
The City Council also directed the City Manager to tell Professional Transit Management, which is the contracted management of Sun Tran, to put all available funds within the approved budget on the table towards a solution, including savings realized from reduced operations during the strike. And they told PTM to meet its obligation to negotiate in good faith with the Teamsters.
