Bus Drivers pick up students at stops along established routes and drop. In fact, the MTA wanted us to pay for our own raises and contract improvements through significant concessions and givebacks, including doubling our paycheck deductions for healthcare from 2% to 4%, and expanding OPTO with the removal of Conductors from trains. Bus Drivers are also responsible for maintaining a clean bus and identifying any issues.
The MTA took a hardline stance, not wanting to give an inch of ground on wages or benefits. These victories, and others you will see in this package, were not easily obtained. In the great tradition of trade unionism, we are taking care of our members as well as the old, the young, and the sick. We made sure that medical coverage will be provided to the families of our brothers and sisters who died after contracting COVID-19.Īnd we enhanced medical coverage for retirees. We held the line on healthcare costs, defeated efforts to cut subway staffing, and won an unprecedented expansion of maternity and paternity leave for members having children. We secured a tentative contract with solid annual raises of 9.8% compounded over three years – and $4,000 in Essential Worker Cash Bonus payments – that are substantially better than the city pattern. Salary ranges can vary widely depending on the city and many other important factors, including education, certifications, additional skills, the number of years you have spent in your profession.
With your help, I’m pleased to report that we prevailed. The average Public Transit Bus Driver salary in New Jersey is 41,677 as of May 01, 2023, but the range typically falls between 33,820 and 50,784. MAY 31 - Thank you, brothers and sisters, for your support and solidarity as we battled the MTA during an extremely difficult series of contract negotiations.
