TriMet’s Labor Contract

December 1, 2024: TriMet’s Working and Wage Agreement with union employees represented by the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 757 took effect Dec. 1, 2024. This after the TriMet Board of Directors approved the new contract at its business meeting on Sept. 25, 2024. The agreement will remain in effect through November 30, 2028.

The agreement boosts union employees’ wages by 4% in December 2024, followed by a 3% increase each year after that. That comes out to a 13.64% wage increase over four years. TriMet and ATU leadership negotiated a four-year term for the new contract, instead of the usual three, to provide greater stability for everyone involved. That includes riders, as well as people who may be considering a career with TriMet. Read the news release.
