In a Monday press release, the ATU said TriMet must now grant retroactive and future pay increases to all of its members.
“TriMet must increase all unionized employee wages by 3% retroactive to June 1, 2011; by 2.1% increase retroactive to December 1, 2011, and by 2.9% wage increase due on June 1, 2012,” the press release said.
Contacted by the Portland Tribune, TriMet spokeswoman Mary Fetsch said if that is true, the agency is not looking at a $17 million funding shortfall instead of the small $12 million one that would not have included the increases. Fetsch said she had not had to discuss the ruling with TriMet’s labor negotiators, however, and did not know if the ruling could be appealed.
