LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — A vote to possibly ratify a new labor deal for Regional Transportation Commission bus drivers and mechanics could come as soon as next week.
A spokesman for Transdev, the company that contracts to run the RTC's bus lines in Las Vegas, says a "tentative deal" for a new three-year labor contract has been agreed upon.
But to go into effect, it will have to be approved by members of the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1637.
A vote could come Tuesday, according to a Channel 13 source with knowledge of the situation.
Last month, union members voted against ratifying a previous contract which was tentatively agreed to previously.
The union represents close to 1,200 drivers and mechanics.
Bus drivers and a Transdev employee declined to comment to Channel 13 on the matter.
On Tuesday, a Bill Marion, a public relations professional with Purdue Marion & Associates, said negotiations leading to the tentative agreement were "very positive."
Details of the new deal have not been released.
