LOS ANGELES — Metrolink’s board of directors last week approved a collective bargaining agreement with members of Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1277. Union members had ratified the agreement earlier in April.
The agreement covers the commuter rail operator’s rail traffic coordinators, rail traffic controllers, communications coordinators, and customer relations representatives. The 47 employees involved represent 16% of Metrolink’s 285-person workforce. They will receive a 15% raise over the term of the contract, which runs through June 30, 2026.
“I’m glad that Metrolink and our represented team members reached this agreement,” Metrolink CEO Darren Kettle said in a press release. “This ensures a continued safe and customer-focused level of service for our riders.”
